There are a number of exhibitions to choose from in Italy during the close of 2023 and first few weeks of the New Year.
    The diverse offer ranges from an in-depth look at the construction of the early second century Trajan's Column in Rome to a focus on the Italian Renaissance physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei in Florence and Maurizio Cattelan's hanging stuffed crocodile 'Ego' at the Baptistery in Cremona.
    ROME - 'Trajan's Column. The tale of a symbol' is showing at the Colosseum Archaeological Park, organised and promoted by the Colosseum Archaeological Park and the Galileo Museum - Institute and Museum of the History of Science under the curatorship of Alfonsina Russo, Federica Rinaldi, Angelica Pujia and Giovanni Di Pasquale. On show until April 30, the project aims to document the labour-intensive construction of the Column, presenting the main tools used to extract the marble blocks, transport them by boat and mount them. The exhibition also includes reconstructions of the construction machines of the time.
    FLORENCE - 'Celestial splendours. The observation of the sky from Galileo to gravitational waves' is on display until March 17 in the former dormitory of Santa Maria Novella. On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the publication of Galileo's Saggiatore - the book that laid the foundations of the modern concept of science, based on observation and experimentation - the exhibition, organised in conjunction with the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO), recounts Galileo's revolutionary conception of science and the fundamental discoveries of the Tuscan scientist in a way that is accessible to visitors of all ages.
    CREMONA - It is possible to visit Maurizio Cattelan's large taxidermied crocodile Ego at the Baptistery of San Giovanni Battista until January 14: the work was specially created by the controversial Italian contemporary artist for the first edition of Cremona Contemporanea - Art Week, curated by Rossella Farinotti.
    Other exhibitions to look out for include 'Divine Children' featuring three sculptures dating from the 15th to the 18th centuries in the Sala delle Udienze in Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, until January 28; Ospiti a palazzo. Figure in posa e al naturale, an exhibition dedicated to portraits at Palazzo Martinengo di Villagana in Brescia until January 20; and Stelle che sorreggono altre stelle by Lucia Cantò at the Fondazione Elpis in Milan.
