Rome celebrates the 150th anniversary of the birth of the Italian painter and Futurist master Giacomo Balla by opening his former home to the public for the first time. Casa Balla, the painter's kaleidoscopic vision of art and colour on Via Oslavia, finally comes to light after being closed for 30 years.

Its opening is thanks to a collaboration between MAXXI, the National Museum of 21st-Century Arts, and Rome's special superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape, with the support of the Italian culture ministry and the Bank of Italy.
