As Russkiy Mir reported before, the Russian Rome International cultural festival took place in Italian capital for the first time one year ago. It was dated with the 180th anniversary of the day when Princess Volkonskaya started hosting literary and musical salon at the Palazzo Poli. Her salon was frequented by Karl Brullov, Alexander Ivanov, Bertel Thorvaldsen, Vincenzo Camuccini, Stendhal, and Sir Walter Scott. In 1980s Rome has become the place of attraction for artists, musicians, writers. Now this tradition is going to be revived.
The closing ceremony took part at the place where Volkonskaya's salon was located 180 years ago.
