This is also part of the wider project which sees new structures and spaces being created in the city to accommodate collections and exhibitions of contemporary art. Rome was running the risk of appreciating only what had historically been accepted as art

Until recently, Romans on the whole had found new forms of artistic expression difficult to accept and the city possessed no real venue to accommodate them.
Thanks to recent City Councils, funds have been made available not only to restore important monuments and to give them back to the world, but also to endow the city with new venues and spaces where contemporary and international art forms can be seen and experienced, thus putting Rome on a par with the other great European capitals
