A true commitment to art and culture
Through the partnership with Fondazione Torlonia, Chiomenti supports the promotion and preservation of our country's historical, cultural and artistic heritage for future generations.
The partnership
Statues, marbles and history
Preserving historical, cultural and artistic heritage means restoring artworks that shape history. This is why Chiomenti has been collaborating for several years with Fondazione Torlonia, which has always been committed to preserving and promoting the most important private collection of ancient roman sculpture in the world. A partnership created from a deep sharing of values and goals, aiming to make an exceptional cultural legacy available to the community. In addition to having contributed to the restoration of the Sculpture of the Athlete of Stephanos and the Amphitrite, the firm supports the activities of Fondazione Torlonia - which has inaugurated the North American tour of the exhibition "Myth and Marble. Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection" in 2025 and in 2026 expands the Antiquarium at Villa Albani Torlonia with the exhibition "Marmora Romana" - and aims to support other major projects in the coming years.

The Eternal Dialogue: Roman Art Between Past and Present
The exhibition "Myth and Marble. Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection", featuring 58 masterpieces of ancient Roman sculpture, including busts, mythological figures and sarcophagi, with 28 works specially restored for the exhibition with the support of Fondazione Bvlgari, opened overseas from March 2025 to July 2026 during a tour involving Canada and the United States.
In 2026, Fondazione Torlonia expands the Antiquarium at Villa Albani Torlonia, inaugurated in 2024 to mark the Foundation's tenth anniversary, with a new exhibition space and presents Marmora Romana, an exhibition curated by Carlo Gasparri dedicated to the use of polychrome marble in ancient Rome and to the memory of Raniero Gnoli (1933-2025).
The Firm's support for Fondazione Torlonia's activities represents a crucial contribution to preserving and promoting a cultural heritage that reflects key milestones in the history of collecting, archaeology and restoration.
