Picasso Exhibition in Rome 2025: The Language of Ideas

From October 4, 2025, to January 25, 2026, the Historical Museum of the Infantry in Rome will host the major exhibition “Picasso. The Language of Ideas” — an unmissable event celebrating the eclectic Spanish genius through a curated journey into his most extraordinary artistic experiments.

This exhibition is more than painting: visitors will explore Picasso’s boundless creativity through engravings, ceramics, posters, theatrical costumes, and photographs.

It’s a journey into ideas, visions, and constant transformations — a tribute to the artist who revolutionized 20th-century art.

Rome has recently hosted landmark exhibitions dedicated to great masters like Dalí, Gauguin, and Frida Kahlo, and the arrival of “Picasso. The Language of Ideas” confirms the city as one of Europe’s top destinations for modern and contemporary art lovers.

Visiting this exhibition means discovering a new side of Picasso — an artist who spoke many creative languages and continues to surprise audiences decades later.

Picasso in Rome: Beyond Painting
The exhibition “Picasso. The Language of Ideas” reveals a lesser-known Picasso — one defined by eclecticism and experimentation, the hallmarks of his career.
- Engravings and lithographs: Over 2,400 works created throughout his life, a testament to his relentless artistic research.
- Ceramics: Objects and sculptures that transform raw materials into art through an innovative visual language.
- Costumes and stage designs: The iconic sketches for the Russian ballets, including “Le Tricorne,” highlight Picasso’s deep connection with Spanish folk culture.
- Photographs and posters: Communication tools that became integral to his creative process.
The exhibition is structured into six thematic sections, starting from the academic realism of Picasso’s early works and progressing through his mature period — showcasing his inexhaustible ability to reinvent himself.
Museo Storico della FanteriaThe Venue

The Museo Storico della Fanteria (Historical Museum of the Infantry), inaugurated in 1959 and housed in a charming Art Nouveau building, offers a unique setting for this exhibition.

Usually home to relics, weapons, and uniforms tracing Italian military history from the Risorgimento to the Liberation, the museum now opens its halls to cultural events of exceptional significance.

Choosing this venue highlights the dialogue between history and art, offering visitors a complete experience: not only Picasso’s creative genius but also the historical heritage of one of Rome’s lesser-known museums.
