Stock Photo - The National Roman Museum houses Ai Weiwei's work 'The human comedy' at the Baths of Diocletian, a work begun before the pandemic, but which takes on a new meaning, becoming a metaphor for the pandemic itself. The Human Comedy shows the liberated content of a human body, stripped of its exterior, humanity appears to us in those forms that are found in each of us: a tortuous cascade of bones and entrails. Composed of over two thousand pieces of blown glass cast by the master glassmakers of the Berengo Studio in Murano, La Commedia Umana is a huge chandelier with colossal dimensions (over 6 meters wide by about 9 high) which, with its four tons, will drop from ceiling of one of the rooms of the ancient Baths: one of the largest sculptures ever made in Murano glass housed in the largest spa complex of all antiquity. From 25 March to 3 April 2022 at National Roman Museum, Rome, Italy. 03/24/2022.
