During your visit of Villa Adriana You will have the opportunity also to visit the outstanding exhibition: “Marguerite Yourcenar – Adriano, antiquity imagined”.

The exhibition documents the creative process underlying the novel. The halls of the Antiquarium are lined with Yourcenar‘s correspondence, vintage photographs, scultures and engravings offering a rare glimpse into the work of a writer who sought to bring ancient Rome to life.
