If you wish to visit the following cultural options you need to purchase your own ticket providing the NAME BADGE you will find in your folder which it will be given to you from the ERACON Organizing Team during your registration on 26 and 27 June 2023.
OPTION 1: MAXXI – National Museum of Art (XXI century)
MAXXI Arte is a contemporary museum set within unconventional architecture, a point of departure for a new museographic experience that breaks with the past.
With a natural vocation for contemporary creativity, MAXXI Arte intends to be an interpreter of and an outlet for diverse voices, aware that contemporaneity has varied forms with roots in the 20th century and even further back. The museum therefore focuses on the promotion of young art and the valorisation of those we may consider as its masters and movements that were active in the 20th century but still dialogue with the 21th.
Faithful to the idea underlying its conception, with its surface area of 13,500 square meters and its permanent collection MAXXI Arte represents an experimental space that as well as its own collection and exhibition programme proposes an interdisciplinary cultural offering that naturally includes art but also explores theatre, dance, music, fashion, graphics, film and advertising.

OPTION 2: Sotterranei di Roma – Underground of Rome Tour
Discover the Underground Landscapes of Rome
The tour begins with a fascinating explanation of the history of Rome and the systems used to raise up the buildings of the ancient city. Your guide accompanies you to explore a special catacomb and discover different underground landscapes. We access the cave via a dirt path from the city, about a ten-minute walk.
Enjoy the great feeling that comes with discovering new archeological sites; nothing beats the excitement of hands-on archaeology. Proper equipment is essential for a descent; a helmet with a headlamp and clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty are provided.
You’d be amazed at how much you can learn in a few hours. You get to experience the excitement we felt when the head of the archaeological superintendence asked us to investigate areas of human activity buried beneath hundreds to thousands of years of sediment! There are three keywords for this excursion: helmet, light, and… adventure!
