Statue Molo A

Works at Pier A

Aeroporti di Roma is working on cultural and artistic programming that aims to combine social sustainability and innovation.

Along the connecting structure to Pier A, passengers can admire seven sculptures and paintings, all original from the Roman period, along the exhibition route: 'Men and Gods in Ancient Ostia', a scientific project curated by the Ostia Antica Archaeological Park with the logistical support of AdR.

The works on display (a statue of Apollo, a statue of Sabina as Ceres, two statues of Nymphs, two frescoes with a horseman and a married couple, and a sculptural group of fighters) are representative of the artistic and figurative panorama of the ancient Roman colony, coming from urban monumental contexts and from the city's territory (Neptune's Baths, the Theatre, the Necropolis of Porto on Isola Sacra).

We have produced a number of podcasts, in collaboration with Chora Media, to accompany passengers on a discovery of these masterpieces, explaining the history, anecdotes, trivia and historical context, thus allowing them to relive, albeit virtually, the splendours of Ancient Rome.
