#rhinoceros2018

[touristbychance]

Here is my first post in the series Discover the Undiscovered of Italy by Tourist by Chance. Every now and then, I will post information on a place/town/movement etc that your guides will not cover. * * Have you ever seen this rhinoceros during your walks of Rome, late last year? Well, since 5 October, 2018 a rhinoceros appeared in front of the Arch of Janus at the Forum Boarium, between the Circus Maximus and the Temple of Portunus. * * The life-size sculpture was created to announce the opening of the new base for the Fondazione Alda Fendi - Esperimenti, whose gallery is called Rhinoceros, in the adjacent building on Via del Velabro 9. The six-storey structure, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, is a blend of ancient elements (dating to the 17th Century) and cutting-edge design, which make up the 24 exclusive apartments along with exhibition and performance spaces. * * What is extra cool? The rooftop restaurant, Caviar Kaspia Roma, which serves Russian-inspired specialties such as caviar as well as Italian cuisine! * * While it is free to enter, Rhinoceros, the foundation's art gallery, it is best to book your visit. You can go any day of the week from 10.00 to 19.00.
