This photo exhibition, which marks the completion of the European Research Council (ERC)-funded project ArmEn, will be open to the public between 9 April and 12 June 2026.
Curated by Gohar Grigoryan, Zaroui Pogossian, and Irene Tinti and hosted at the Palazzo Fenzi-Marucelli, the exhibition presents 27 case studies that bear witness to cultural interactions in and around medieval Armenia. These testimonies come from multiple sources: small pieces of pottery and coins; majestic monuments and abandoned ruins; legendary narratives and visual arts; historiographical and juridical texts; lapidary inscriptions and handwritten manuscripts; and even tiny marginal notes that were intentionally erased in medieval times. Collectively, these sources and artefacts narrate a story of medieval Armenia and Armenians that spans a multitude of interconnections across Eurasia.
