The installation designed for Genoa has been completely revised for Rome, where there will be a much larger display space, longer opening time, site-specific models and documentation. In parallel to the exhibition, as in Genoa, a series of conferences, seminars, debates and shows will also be held. Details will be published in the fall.

2. The Exhibition at Museum of Roman Civilization

The Museum of the Roman Civilization is a unique venue for an exhibition on solar energy. The two sections, historical and thematic, present a synthesis of Rome’s history, from its origin to VI century B. C., and the various aspects of Roman expansion. It holds a large collection of reproductions and models that illustrate the history of the formation of the city of Rome and of the Empire, as well as the use of sun’s energy in hospitals, villas, baths, etc. [6][7].

The solar features of these buildings will be illustrated by the use of a heliodon, which will reproduce the sun’s path in various moments of the day as well as different seasons.
