GAM 100. Un secolo di Galleria comunale 1925-2025 | Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Roma Capitale

20 December 2025 – 11 October 2026

It was 28 October 1925 when what is now known as the Galleria d’Arte Moderna first opened its doors in the halls of Palazzo Caffarelli on the Capitoline Hill.

Exactly 100 years later, Roma Capitale celebrates the founding of its institution with the major exhibition GAM 100. Un secolo di Galleria comunale 1925–2025 in the museum’s current home on Via Francesco Crispi, housed within the former convent of the Discalced Carmelites at San Giuseppe Capo le Case.

Today the collection comprises over 3,000 works — paintings, sculptures, drawings and graphic works — documenting artistic movements and tendencies spanning more than two centuries, from the 19th to the 21st. The exhibition guides visitors through these Italian and European currents, from the late Ottocento to the avant-gardes such as Futurism, the Secession, the Scuola Romana, Novecento and the Return to Order, continuing with the post-war period and the new paradigms of Abstraction, Informalism and the Neo-Avant-Garde.

The over 100 selected works, including authentic masterpieces by artists of the calibre of Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carrà, Mario Sironi, Fortunato Depero, Antonio Donghi, Renato Guttuso, Giorgio de Chirico and Antonietta Raphaël Mafai, offer visitors an ideal compass to traverse a century of art and history, while retracing the evolution of Rome’s municipal gallery through its venues, key dates and defining events.

Curated by Ilaria Miarelli Mariani and Arianna Angelelli, with Paola Lagonigro, Ilaria Arcangeli, Antonio Ferrara and Vanda Lisanti. Catalogue by Silvana Editoriale.

Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00–19:00. Closed Mondays.
