Yes Hotel Rome Travel Blog: The Rome travel guide

From February 7 to May 6 2012 the Guggenheim collection, an exhibition of some sixty iconic pieces from the Solomon R. Guggenheim foundation’s permanent collection will be displayed here in Rome in the Palazzo Delle Esposizioni.

This exhibition will display some of the foundation’s impressive collection of abstract, expressionism, pop-art, minimalism, post-minimalism, conceptual art and photo-realism.

In the period represented by these pieces in this exhibition the Guggenheim grew from a small showcase, focused on European abstract art to becoming a global institution for contemporary art. Through forward-thinking exhibitions and a bold collecting practice, the Guggenheim has not only important contemporary works for posterity but has been an active force in some of the most innovative and controversial movements in the second half of the 20^th century.

This exhibition is a must see and the Palazzo delle Esposizioni is located really near Yes Hotel!, for more information on this and other attractions be sure to contact us!

There is still an echo of the spectacular show performed by Lenny Kravitz in Treviso and Milan and now the “black and white tour” comes to Italy again. The show arrives in Rome on the 17^th of July at the Capannelle Racecourse in Rome .

The concert seen in Italy recently has conquered the public, who are always accustomed to seeing an artist that has been on the seen for twenty years and remains relatively unchanged in his brilliant style. The comments were unanimous: “a compact design and enriched by the bands horn section”, “a mature artist that has kept the freshness of his early years”, “a production of high level and above the ladder of success as few others can achieve”.

He has played many of his fantastic songs and most certainly will again such as, “Always on the run”, “American woman”, “Fly away” and “Are you gonna go my way”, to name but a few.

Lenny will be joined of course by, “Gail Ann Dorsey on bass”, “George Laks on keyboard”, Craig Ross on guitar”, “Frank Vanderbilt on drums”, “Harold Todd on the sax”, “Gabrial McNair on trombone” and “Ludovic Louis on the trumpet”.

Its sure to be a spectacular show so don’t miss it and don’t forget to write us or visit our website to get the best accomodation in Rome at the most affordable rates.

One of the most important art galleries in Rome,Galleria Borghese houses part of the Borghese collection of paintings ,sculptures and antiquities.

The museum is located  inside a suggestive landscape garden,Villa borghese,the largest park in Rome after Villa Doria Pamphili and Villa Ada, surely the nearest to an ideal of eternal beautiness  as the number of buildings,museums, and attractions that it contains.Also in Villa borghese or nearby you will find the Galleria Nazionale d’arte moderna,Villa Giulia,Villa Medici,Casa del Cinema.

As regards the Galleria Borghese, here you can admire some of the most important creations by  Antonello da Messina,Giovanni Bellini, Raffaello,Tiziano,Correggio,Gian Lorenzo Bernini,Canova,Caravaggio.On my opinion, among all the famous  works that are inside its twenty rooms,some sculptures of  Bernini are worth to be seen for theirs dynamism and for the virtuosism,such as his Apollo and Dafne. If you are an art lover you must visit at least once in your life Galleria Borghese and from  december 2011 for three months  65

masterpieces given by Camillo Borghese to Napoleon in 1807 will return in Rome and be replaced inside the gallery. It’s an event not to be missed, and our hotel will be pleased to accomodate you in Rome!
