Eighty pictures from famous photographers such as  Gianni Berengo Gardin, Luig Ghirri, Andrea Jemolo, Gabriele Basilico and many others. Entrance from piazza Navona 2 or from piazza San Pantaleo. Up to the 8th of march. The picture below was made by Andrea Jemolo in 2006 and it represents the church done by the american architect Richard  Meier in the suburb of Rome called Tor Tre Teste. La Chiesa di Dio Padre Misericordioso. "The white sailings will push us into a New World" said Meier to Pope John Paul II when he presents his project.
