The House of Augustus on Rome’s Palatine Hill is one of seven Italian heritage sites that will be the beneficiaries of an “Art Marathon” being staged this weekend by the not-for-profit organization, Maratonarte.
By donating to Maratonarte, you’ll be helping to save some of Italy’s most important artistic and archaeological sites, including the home of ancient Rome’s first emperor, Augustus, which was excavated in the 1960s.
Funds raised in aid of the House of Augustus will be used to restore paintings in the elaborately decorated “Hall of Perspective,” seen above.
To give, go to the Maratonarte website and click on the “Dono subito” link or click here.
