Eruzioni: Pompei and Santorini
Mount Vesuvius wiped out Pompeii in 79 AD, and will one day erupt again. Santorini harbours a famous sleeping giant, too, with explosions smarting the volcanic Greek isle throughout the ages. Translating to Eruptions: Pompeii and Santorini, this fascinating exhibition arrives at the Scuderie del Quirinale in October.

Night Openings: Open Tour of the Museums and Sistine Chapel
Explore the nocturnal ambiance of the Pope’s museums, including the Gregorian Egyptian Museum, and Galleries of the Candelabra, Tapestries and Geographical Maps. The vivid frescoes lining the Borgia Apartment are certainly memorable, as is, of course, the grand opulence of the Sistine Chapel, which is beautifully lit after dusk. The tour is open from 7pm until 11pm, allowing plenty of opportunity to explore.
