With this exhibition, a collection of visionary bird-dresses and feathered accessories brings to life the Farnese Aviaries on the Palatine. This renews the sense of admiring wonder felt in their interiors by the guests of the Farnese in the seventeenth century on viewing the various species of exotic birds, displayed to testify to the magnificence of this noble family. On the traces of memory, the enchanted landscape, which returns to life in the Farnese Aviaries thanks to these dreamlike creations of fashion, takes us back intimeand, on a path of great fascination, fully dialogues with the fantastic landscapes characteristic of some of the masterpieces of Roman art of the Augustan Age. Such are the frescoes of the Villa of Livia ad gallinas albas at Prima Porta, an expression of the same cultural climate, of which extraordinary monumental complexes, like the House of Augustus and the House of Livia, are imperishable witnesses, also on the Palatine.
