After telling you about the study rooms that are also open at night in Rome, comes another good news for students in the city: three new study rooms are opening to the public in Rome.
The official opening is scheduled for Friday, April 11, at 11 a.m. at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, while on Tuesday, April 22, at 1:30 p.m., the study rooms at the Pietro Canonica Museum and the Casa del Cinema, both located in the picturesque setting of Villa Borghese, will open their doors.
The new classrooms are designed to offer citizens cozy places dedicated to reading, studying and socializing, enhancing some of the Capital’s most fascinating cultural sites. The initiative is part of a larger project that aims to create a network of Capitoline study rooms complementary to the civic library system.
Here’s what the 3 study rooms will look like
Starting with the beautiful location of Palazzo delle Esposizioni, the room will be equipped with 24 stations on the ground floor, next to the museum library and cafeteria, and will be accessible Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p. m. It will be managed by Azienda Speciale Palaexpo.
In the Villa Borghese park is the Cinema House classroom, managed by the Fondazione Cinema per Roma, offers 8 dedicated stations and another 20 in the food court area. The classroom will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Under the management of the Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali, we move on to the Pietro Canonica Museum room, which has 8 stations accessible during the museum’s opening hours: Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
All new locations have free Wi-Fi and outlets for charging electronic devices.
Study rooms already open and with free access are:
- Museum of Rome
- Palazzo Braschi
- Macro
- The Slaughterhouse Pelanda
- Montespaccato and Trionfale neighborhoods
- Euclid Shopping Center
Upcoming openings and collaborations
New venues are planned at the Celio Archaeological Park and in the Tor Pignattara neighborhood. In addition, the Department of Culture is working to open additional spaces at Centrale Montemartini, Torre dei Conti and the future Museum of the Peripheries in Tor Bella Monaca.
To facilitate access to the services offered by the network of study halls, a collaboration has been initiated with ISIA Roma Design to create a dedicated portal that will gather all the information on the municipal and federated locations available in the area.
