"Quirinale Contemporaneo 2020"
The seats of the Presidency of the Republic reopen their doors to contemporary art and design. The “Quirinale Contemporaneo 2020” project returns again this year, enriching the Quirinale Palace and the Castelporziano Estate, with 71 new acquisitions including paintings, sculptures, photographs, which attest to the vivacity of the Italian genius of recent decades.
We are proud that, among the new works of art and design acquired, there are also two Snowsound Art panels designed by Gillo Dorfles and the system of sound-absorbing elements Botanica designed by Mario Trimarchi.

The Quirinale Palace, official residence of the President of the Italian Republic, is a historic building in Rome, located on the hill of the same name and overlooking the homonymous square.
Its current appearance stems from various architectural interventions, which began in 1583 on an ancient Roman villa, and is one of the most important buildings in the capital, both from an artistic and a political point of view.

The Castelporziano Presidential Estate covers an area of about
59 square kilometres, is 24 km from the centre of Rome
and extends to the coast.
The estate contains most of the ecosystems typical of the Mediterranean environment. The great variety of vegetation corresponds to a similar wealth of fauna species.
Since 1999 the Castelporziano Estate has been recognized as
a State Natural Reserve.
