The show guides visitors through themed sections featuring unpublished documents, photographs, original screenplays and personal items that illuminate Scola’s creative process and his relationship with the city of Rome.

Highlights

• Photographs and footage: on-set images, portraits and archival contributions that place the films in historical context.
• Personal artifacts: props and everyday objects connected to Scola and figures from his films.
• Thematic sections: three exhibition areas covering his satirical beginnings, screenwriting work and directing career.
