Until 4 Feb: Matisse e Bonnard. Viva la pittura! (Matisse and Bonnard. Long live painting!)
These two geniuses of 20th century painting though profoundly different in painting styles were united by an important and complex correspondence and were constantly listening to, and debating with, one another. Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse's works await us at the Vittoriano complex where over 200 drawings, watercolours, documents, letters, postcards, oils, sculptures and gouaches have been assembled. These two great artists and art lovers were inspired by the same themes - nature, landscapes and people - but they explored them in entirely different ways.

Colosseo, piazza del Colosseo. Info 0639967700
Until 18 Feb: L'Iliade a Roma (The Iliad in Rome)
"Sing, goddess, the anger of Peleus' son Achilleus and its devastation, which put pains thousandfold upon the Achaians [...]." Thus begins one of the most famous poems in the world. This exhibition's intent is to be as faithful as possible to the original poem. Its first section is in fact made up of the work's so-called prodromes (premonitions), such as the Judgement of Paris. A beautiful gallery has been filled with gods and heroes, and another section dedicated to Greek and Trojan heroes. Finally the last section is dedicated to the strongest and most intense sequences of the poem; those that speak of love and war. The Iliad is a masterpiece that should be revisited often. Until 15 Feb h8,30-16,30; from 16 to 18 Feb h8,30-17. €11, reduced €6,50

The Vatican museums are currently the museum complex that attracts the most visitors nationwide.

This fragment, and a series of other materials and art-works, are exhibited in a show that commemorates the 500 years of the establishment of St Peter’s Basilica.

Until 6 May: Annibale Carracci
An exhibition of 160 paintings and drawings by the Bolognese artist who lived and worked many years in Rome, as well as in Naples, Tuscany and Venice. Carracci perpetuates the dictates of the Italian Renaissance, creating highly realistic works characterised by a very decisive use of colour.

Museo di Villa Torlonia, via Nomentana, 70. Info 060606

Until 11 Feb: Willem de Kooning. Late Paintings (The late paintings - Willem de Kooning)
Even though he persistently expressed his independence from the American expressionist movement, Willem de Kooning was one of its pillars and definitely influenced by its European counterpart. De Kooning was an extremely varied and prolific artist. Sixteen of his almost entirely abstract female nudes, landscapes and other works from the 1980s make up this show. The way the exhibition is laid out is designed to make visitors best appreciate these peaceful works that were born out of a period of chosen, happy and self-aware solitude. Tue-sun h9-19. €6, reduced €4
Complesso del Vittoriano, via San Pietro in Carcere. Info 066780664
Until 11 Feb: Alla scoperta del Vesuvio (Discovering the Vesuvius)

Palazzo Poli - Istituto Nazionale per la Grafica - Calcografia, via della Stamperia, 6. Info 0669980242
Until 18 Feb: Tra Oriente e Occidente (Between East and West)
This exhibition features etchings created using a vast range of different techniques and styles by the likes of Stanis Dessy, Mario Delitala, Bruno Bramanti and Moses Levi. The engravings all deal with the East as a subject matter; the East as both a geographic place and a metaphorical concept. Therefore we see landscapes as diverse as Algeria, Libya, Sardinia, and the Trentino and Tuscany regions. Eastern or Oriental here means rural, and is therefore a counterpoint to the urban. "Between East and West" posits a perspective in which progress is reversed; the model suggested here is a pastoral one. Tue-sat h10-19. Admission free
Centrale Montemartini, via Ostiense, 106. Info 065748030
Until 18 Feb: Arterritory. Arte, Territorio e Memoria

The year is 1759 and Charles III, Duke of Bourbon, leaves for Spain. This is the subject of Antonio Joli’s two paintings. The artist was commissioned by the Bourbon Court and created two beautiful view paintings, a genre that was not only an artistic trend in the 18th century but also a prevalent way of documenting history. The Bay of Naples is the protagonist of these two recently very carefully restored paintings.

Until 28 Feb: Piero Pizzi Cannella. Cattedrale (Piero Pizzi Cannella. Cathedral)
All the works on canvas and paper showing at the MACRO feature a cathedral. For Pizzi Cannella it is a symbol of ecstasy, a metaphorical place that you can reach in your head. In a vacuous environment a cathedral is something solid to hold on to, and yet its solidity is also evanescent... Tue-sun h16-24. €1

Pedro Cabrita Reis' massive and exclusive installation contains a universe of glass and steel beams in which the notion of space is continually questioned and transformed according to the configurations created by the materials assembled.
