Tomorrow, everyone connected to the GoToWebinar Platform to view the final event of Project RoLab - Rome Live Art Lab, promoted with the United States Embassy in Italy, will have the opportunity to visit the virtual museum, a digital gallery that hosts the ten models for the urban regeneration of abandoned areas in the city developed by high school students in Rome and Lazio. There will also be a preview of the photos on the transformation of the areas regenerated to provide new spaces for the health emergency by the artistic duo composed by Linda Pagani (USA) and Federica Pamio (Italy) [see news: A City with Antibodies].
