Until 6 Jan: Mark Rothko
The exhibition includes about 70 works of art, divided according to the phases of the artist's poetic development: it includes small plaster paintings, the so-called "Multiforms" canvases (filled with stains of colour), the large canvases (among which "Mural" stands out), the square shapes of the "Blackform" paintings and the late "black and gray" works.

This retrospective celebrates Rothko's ability to draw out emotional strength through the universal language of colour. The curator of the show is Oliver Wick. A cura di Oliver Wick.

Until 27 Jan: Pop Art! 1956 - 1968
Walter Guadagnini is the curator of the biggest exhibition to date dedicated to Pop Art, a cultural and artistic movement that represented the West through unforgettable images such as the Marilyn silk-screens by Andy Warhol and the Coca Cola logo. The show is divided into four sections: the first is dedicated to the object as merchandise, its essence rendered and summarised in the logo; the second section focuses on the stars and personalities of the time, such as astronauts Joe Tilson and Derek Boshier; the third section is dedicated to communication channels and forms of expression of popular culture such as the cartoon; the fourth is about sex and the body as an erotic entity. Pop art is art that collides – inevitably – with mass media; it offers a document of society and of the spirit that pervaded the era.

Galleria Borghese, piazzale del Museo Borghese, 5. Info 06328101
Until 3 Feb: 10 Grandi Mostre: Canova e la Venere Vincitrice (10 major exhibitions: Canova and the winning Venus)
The second act in the "10 Great Exhibitions" series celebrates Antonio Canova 250 years after the date of his birth. Nicknamed the new Phidias, Canova represents the apotheosis of Italian neoclassicism, an artistic period in which mythological subjects, political personalities and metaphysical themes were explored. The Galleria Borghese will serve as the venue in which to admire over 50 paintings, drawings and clay models. 16 major marble sculptures are also on display and include some spectacular pieces, such as the "Three Graces", the "Sleeping Nymph", "Amor and Psyche", the “Naiad” and the complete series of “Amorini”. Curators: Anna Coliva and Fernando Mazzocca.

Complesso del Vittoriano, via San Pietro in Carcere. Info 066780664
Until 3 Feb: Paul Gauguin. Artista di mito e sogno (Paul Gauguin. Artist of myths and dreams)
Paul Gauguin was a symbolist deeply struck by the work of Cézanne and Pissarro and was obsessed by the idea of pure and untamed painting and by a quest to merge both art and life. Paul Gauguin was rejected by France and considered subversive, he spoke using colour, clear contours and rarefied atmospheres. He allowed his primitive and mythical characters to inhabit a literary Eden, possibly in a quest to locate the Peru of his infancy... Paul Gauguin will sate our hunger for beauty. Venue: the Vittoriano museum.

Colosseo, piazza del Colosseo (ingresso sul lato di Colle Oppio, fornice XXX). Info 0639967700
Until 17 Feb: In scaena. Il teatro di Roma antica (In scaena. The theatre of ancient Rome)
This fascinating archaeological exhibition tells the story of an essential component of Roman culture: the theatre. The exhibition opens with about 70 works that explore the complex origins of theatre: its Greek and Italic roots, the Etruscan contribution to its evolution, the performances that evolved out of Magna Grecia. Another section is centred on the structure of theatres and on set design, both aspects that, with time, evolved their own style. The last part of the exhibition is extremely effective and composed of an overview of the protagonists of the theatrical experience: the actors – their miming techniques and dramatic abilities – and the public, passionate about this form of art made up of music, dance, singing and acting... Until 15 Feb h8,30-16,30; 16 and 17 Feb h8,30-17. €11, reduced €6,50

Until 6 Jan: Emilio Vedova. 1919 - 2006
A major chronological retrospective dedicated to the highly original Venetian artist, Emilio Vedova. The exhibition opens with the drawings that mark Vedova's beginnings - back in the 1930s - and continues with his first forays into the world of painting, inspired by the works of Tintoretto, Rembrandt, and baroque and expressionist artists. The later creations (dating from the 1950s) were born out of a more mature artistry; this is when the geometric element of his work came to light. The "Plurimi" series, that expressed a consciousness of the drama of daily existence, are also very famous, as are the colourful works dating from the 80s, the "Dischi" and "Bozzetti". Emilio Vedova: works of art that speak of the love for art. Tue-sun h8,30-19,30

A series of highly varied materials - oils, daguerreotypes, drawings, etchings, original prints, period documents - tell the story of this very important figure.

Mon-thu h9,30-19,30; fri and sat h9,30-23,30; sun h9,30-20,30. €10, reduced €7,50

Until 6 Jan: Scipione 1904 - 1933
His 29 years were intensely lived and filled with art: Gino Bonichi was born in Macerata but chose to live and work in Rome, a choice that was sealed by his decision to be known as Scipione. Refined painter, fascinated by Goya, he left a profound mark in modern figurative art. His works speak of Rome, the church, decadence and of allegorical figures such as Cain or the blond mermaid. Paintings, drawings and films tell the life story of a dynamic and fantastical artist. h9-16,30. €9, reduced €5,50

Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Spike Lee, Woody Allen, Darren Aronofsky, Wes Anderson, John Malkovich, Jodie Foster, Glenn Close and Tom Hanks are just some of those who are featured in this exhibition in the Bilotti museum.

The MACRO has put on an exhibition in which we can admire many paintings made out of wood and plaster but also two very particular creations: video-animations projected on mega-drawings composed of resin, olive oil, ink and cartoons. The sweet music of the videos amalgamates with the delicateness of the drawings, and effectively recreates the atmosphere of the traditional fairytales Khebrehzadeh was told during her childhood...

Until 2 Mar: Gregory Crewdson
The photos of one of the most famous teachers of the Yale School of Art in New Haven - Gregory Crewdson - are shown in a travelling exhibition touring various major European cities. The photographer's clearly narrative aims incorporate the theatrical use of light, the fairytale and fantastical and the Freudian reading of the contemporary. The alienated society depicted by Crewdson reflects the neuroses and anxieties of the artist, whose realistic take makes him one of the most significant exponents of a technique known as 'staged photography'. The narrative power of the photos is very strong, especially those inspired by films. Some of the photos manage to capture in one shot the whole essence of a film...
