Founded in 2006 by Sara Zanin, Z20 Gallery—officially known as z2o Sara Zanin—has become a vibrant force in Rome’s contemporary art scene. Originally located near the Colosseum and later Piazza Navona, the gallery relocated in 2024 to the culturally rich Testaccio district, embracing a more expansive and industrial space designed by Bevilacqua Architects. This move reflects the gallery’s commitment to site-specific installations and deeper community engagement. Z20 Gallery showcases a diverse roster of Italian and international artists, including Mariella Bettineschi, Evgeny Antufiev, and Beatrice Pediconi, often exploring themes of identity, memory, and material experimentation. Its dual venues—Z20 and the nearby z2o Project—foster creative dialogue through exhibitions, residencies, and collaborations with other institutions. The gallery’s programming balances aesthetic innovation with social inquiry, making it a dynamic platform for emerging voices and established talents alike. In Testaccio, Z20 Gallery continues to redefine the relationship between art, space, and urban culture in Rome.
Rome ItalyThe Z20 Gallery, also known as z2o Sara Zanin Gallery, is located at Via Alessandro Volta 34 in the vibrant Testaccio district of Rome. Established in 2006 and initially situated near the Colosseum, the gallery moved in 2024 to Testaccio, an area known for its authentic Roman character, bustling markets, and lively cultural scene. The gallery occupies a spacious, bright venue with minimalist white walls that provide a perfect backdrop for contemporary and experimental art exhibitions. It focuses on innovative, multidisciplinary works that explore social and cultural issues through the eyes of both Italian and international artists. Testaccio itself offers a rich neighborhood experience, featuring the historic Mercato di Testaccio, traditional trattorias, and lively nightlife. Nearby are the ancient Pyramid of Cestius and the Protestant Cemetery, known for its beautiful sculptures and as the final resting place of poets Shelley and Keats. The area’s authentic Roman atmosphere combined with Z20 Gallery’s cutting-edge art creates a unique cultural destination well connected to the city center by public transport, making it an engaging stop for lovers of contemporary art and Roman heritage alike.
