Featured traditions & performances

RO.ME is primarily a professional museum exhibition rather than a traditional music or performing-arts festival. Its cultural content is centred on museums, collections, heritage interpretation, exhibition projects and new technologies for communicating culture.

Museum culture: Projects and presentations explore ways of preserving, interpreting and communicating cultural heritage.

Digital culture: Previous programmes have examined virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, digital storytelling and digital engagement.

Historical & heritage highlights

Rome provides a significant heritage context for RO.ME, with the event taking place at the historic Corsie Sistine within the Monumental Complex of Santo Spirito in Sassia.

Previous RO.ME programmes have examined UNESCO heritage, museum collections, archaeological sites, cultural regeneration, heritage risks, digital preservation and sustainable development. These themes connect the exhibition’s professional programme with wider questions surrounding the preservation and presentation of cultural heritage.
