Chiostro del Bramante

Chiostro del Bramante
About

Chiostro del Bramante is a Renaissance gem tucked away near Piazza Navona in Rome. Commissioned by Cardinal Oliviero Carafa around 1500, it was designed by Donato Bramante, marking one of his earliest works in the city. The cloister's harmonious proportions and elegant architecture exemplify the ideals of the Renaissance period. Today, the Chiostro serves as a vibrant cultural hub, hosting a variety of exhibitions, concerts, and events. Its serene courtyard, surrounded by graceful arches and columns, offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. Visitors can also enjoy a café and bookshop within the premises. A notable feature is the view from the first floor into the adjacent Church of Santa Maria della Pace, where Raphael's fresco "The Sibyls" can be admired. One of the standout exhibitions hosted here is "Flowers. Art from the Renaissance to Artificial Intelligence," running from 14 February 2025 to 18 January 2026. This exhibition explores the symbolic power of flowers through over 90 artworks spanning five centuries, featuring artists like Jan Brueghel, Ai Weiwei, and Kehinde Wiley. The display includes paintings, sculptures, and installations, blending art, science, and technology to offer a multisensory experience.
