Palazzo Marina at night for ‘Night of the Museums’ and concert by the Navy band
Italy, Rome- Saturday 13 May 2023, the Italian Navy will take part in the ‘Night of Museums’ event, organised by Roma Capitale. For the occasion, from 20.00 to 24.00, Palazzo Marina will participate with an extraordinary opening night.
Visitors will be taken on a tour of discovery of the wonders housed in the headquarters of the Navy General Staff, also known as the “Palazzo delle Ancore”, through an evocative itinerary that will wind its way through the courtyard of honour, the monumental Scalone d’onore leading to the Salone dei Marmi, the long corridors streaked with marble, and the elegant Library, with its wood panelling and full of ingenious systems for taking the more than 40,000 precious volumes, including many rare manuscripts, off the shelves. The Navy’s Mobile Information Centre, a multimedia bus equipped with state-of-the-art technology, will be present for the occasion.
In the courtyard in front of the Palace, from 8.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m., the Navy Band will perform a repertoire of anthems and marches in concert.
The visits, as well as the concert, are free and accessible without reservation. The entrance will be from Piazza della Marina (via Flaminia). Persons with disabilities may send an email to mstat.ucs.detsic@marina.difesa.it for any assistance.
