GEA 2076: Greenpeace installation projects Rome into the future

GEA 2076: an open-air museum imagining 2076

GEA 2076 – Memories from the Future is an installation-museum created by artist Alessandro Calizza for Greenpeace Italy that turns Piazza San Cosimato in Rome into an immersive space focused on the climate crisis. The project asks visitors to picture the consequences of today's environmental choices fifty years ahead.

Practical information

When: free entry from April 10 to April 12, 2026, daily from 10:00 to 20:00. Where: Piazza San Cosimato, Rome. The inauguration takes place on Friday, April 10 at 11:00 with the artist and Greenpeace Italy's executive director in attendance.

Structure and themes
