Auditorium Parco della Musica, designed by Renzo Piano, has established itself as a prominent place in the panorama of Roman and national cultural life. The Parco della Musica combines symphonic and chamber music concerts, as well as jazz, pop and rock music, museum and exhibition spaces of extraordinary importance. In addition to the permanent installation by Maurizio Nannucci, the Foyer hosts Sound Corner, a permanent sound installation intended to accommodate sound pieces by ever-changing artists. In the internal garden there is the Pietra Sonante by the Sardinian artist Pinuccio Sciola, a large monolith of rough basalt with a series of slits that allow the production of a sound. The Archaeological Museum with the Roman Villa and the Aristaios Museum and the Museum of Musical Instruments of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia overlook the large Foyer. The Archaeological Museum is divided into two exhibition spaces. The first exhibits finds from the excavation of the Roman villa found in the construction site of the auditorium, first a farm then a patrician villa, is illustrated with models in its various phases. The second section illustrates the archaeological emergencies of the territory between the Aurelian Walls and the courses of the Aniene and the Tiber and crossed by the Via Nomentana, Salaria and Flaminia. The Aristaios Museum is a space of over 300 square meters inside the Auditorium, which now permanently houses the 161 works of Maestro Giuseppe Sinopoli, a passionate collector. The exhibited works, important archaeological finds, extend from a period ranging from Minoan pottery of 3200 BC to works of art from Magna Graecia of 300 BC Of exceptional quality are the finds referable to Attic production: there are works by the main black-figure painters, including Lydos, the Lysippides Painter, exponents of the Nikostenes circle, and Attic red-figure painters, such as the Syleus and Eretria Painter. The redevelopment and fitting out of the museum are a project by the Alvisi Kirimoto architecture studio. The Museum of Musical Instruments of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia has one of the main Italian collections. The collection includes more than five hundred pieces including instruments, accessories, objects and relics that testify to different musical cultures: five centuries of history between Europe, Asia and Africa, cultured music - ancient and modern - Italian folk music, non-European ethnic music. The most important nucleus of the collection is represented by the instruments of the Italian luthier tradition from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Among them stand out - for the quality of the workmanship and historical importance - the violin by Antonio Stradivari of 1690 called “il Toscano”, built for the Grand Prince Ferdinando de 'Medici, and the mandolin and viola by the Roman luthier David Tecchler.
