THE WORLD OF SPORT…THROUGH A ROMAN LENS

Our blogger: Diana

Sport is undoubtely full of passion, pain and challenges and this description fits perfectly with what you are going to experience until December 28th , visiting the exhibition held in Museo di Roma, Trastevere, a historic building situated in Trastevere, Rome.  Usain Bolt - just one of the stars to be found at the Roman museum

The extraordinary selection of Reuters images at this exhibition will screen worldwide sport events in a rich collection dating from the millenium until the latest Olympic Games in Beijing, with a special section dedicated to the Italian olympic champions who won gold medals this year.

Athletics, skiing, soccer, martial arts and some other less famous sports appear in the list, representing a common effort to picture sport activities not only as an act of human heroism but also as a social vector of positive values.

Nelson Mandela once wrote: "Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire, the power to unite people in a way that little else can… sport can create hope… it is an instrument for peace,".

Reuters is an international news agency widely trusted to report breaking news. Some of its photos have become widely reputable, including one of the Italian football World Cup victory in 2006.
