The 2018 Rome Host Committee welcomes you to its reception at Spazio Novecento located inside the Palazzo dell’Arte Antica and within walking distance of Roma Convention Center La Nuvola. The Palazzo dell’Arte Antica was founded more than 70 years ago by the project of the Universal Exposition of Rome (Expo), which was to host world excellence. It was 1935, the thirteenth year of the fascist era, when the governor of Rome Giuseppe Bottai proposed to Mussolini to present the candidacy of Rome for the Universal Exposition. The intent was to show the world the genius of Italic Civilization. The executive part of this ambitious program began on April 26, 1937 and among the buildings that were to be built was the Palazzo dell’Arte Antica, which houses Spazio Novecento. Spazio Novecento is also known for its versatility and elegance of white marble in the heart of one of the most modern districts in Rome. Join us for drinks and enjoy the scenic terraces where you can continue to network and meet colleagues in a relaxing environment following the first day of the conference.
