In 2010 Rome becomes the focal point of interest for professionals and contemporary art lovers during a week of exciting international events. The preview presentation of the new spaces of MACRO and the opening of MAXXI provide the most anticipated events during that period.
From May 27 – 30, Roma – The Road to Contemporary Art presents its third edition.

THE FAIR
ROMA - The Road to Contemporary Art opens the spring season dedicated to contemporary art, and presents 67 national and international galleries from  May 27-30. A new and single venue hosts the Fair at MACRO TESTACCIO; the Fair is installed in the two pavilions of MACRO Future and in the amazing and recently restored Padiglione della Pelanda (a XIX century building) with its large basins and boilers.
The ample outdoor areas in front of the Pavilions host the large format art works, a bar and restaurants, a lounge, as well as a platform dedicated to artist performances, presentations and dj-sets. Thanks to a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, indoor and outdoor spaces of the Fair will become a meeting place for all visitors.
ROMA will be open every day from 4 pm to midnight, Sunday from 11 am to 8 pm.
