This exhibition was included in Remover Roma con Santiago” Festival created by the Spanish Embassy in Italy with the aim to spread the diversity of an extraordinary cultural value itinerary, highlighting it through a comprehensive cultural program that includes literature, music, street theatre, cinema, art, science and children's workshops. These activities took place at the Instituto Cervantes, Casa del Cinema, Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma (CSIC) - EEHAR and the Real Academia de España in Rome.

Of course the Real Academia de España in Rome had a key role in this process. After 144 years of its creation, the Real Academia de España in Rome continues to renew itself as a center for artistic creation and production of knowledge, a meeting point for artists who develop their projects immersed in the tradition of this complex monumental and constant innovation of a global and technological society. 921 scholars have lived in Rome creating relationships in a context that allows many exchanges of artistic ideals, which is one of its greatest strengths. For three years it has been contributed to the production by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation. This makes it one of Spain's most important artistic residences, similar to other centers of international significance. Since 1873, the Academy has played a key role in the formation of numerous generations of Spanish and Ibero-American artists and intellectuals. Today it continues to be an essential tool of Spanish foreign cultural policy, an international projection of creativity that promotes the cultural link with Italy and the rest of Europe and Ibero-America. In addition, it can count on infrastructures for a diversified, plural and diverse cultural offer in an exceptional location in the city such as that of the monumental complex of San Pietro in Montorio, in which stands the Tempietto del Bramante, a key element of the city Renaissance architecture and the history of Spain.
