Some thoughts are not meant to be shared…
Harpocrates, god of silence and secrets: his expression holds something back.
What might he be keeping to himself?

Directed by , Les Fantômes du Cinéma brought to life a vision by Maria Grazia Chiuri to present the Dior Cruise 2026 collection within the historical gardens of Villa Albani Torlonia.

Conceived as an evocative tribute to Rome and the golden age of Italian cinema, the film follows models through the Villa’s storied parterres in designs from the new collection, alongside actors in costumes inspired by the legacy of Italian film developed with Chiuri and brought to life by .

The Fondazione Torlonia is pleased to have supported this initiative, which reaffirms the Villa’s role as a living stage for cultural dialogue and artistic expression — continuing a tradition begun in the 18th century, when Cardinal Albani and Joachim Winckelmann envisioned the site as an open-air laboratory for art, thought, and creative exchange.

A journey through cinema, memory, and imagination.
Les Fantômes du Cinéma, directed by Matteo Garrone, reawakens the historical gardens of Villa Albani Torlonia in a poetic dialogue between fashion, film, and history.

Maria Grazia Chiuri’s final show for Dior becomes a tribute to feminine strength and creative legacy:
a legacy that resonates deeply with Villa Albani itself, cultural powerhouse and cradle of Neoclassicism.

06/04/2026

In Les Fantômes du Cinéma, Villa Albani Torlonia becomes a stage suspended in time; where fashion merges with theater, and the garden itself a living tableau of historical memory.

Maria Grazia Chiuri channels the spirit of Mimì Pecci Blunt and the surreal tradition of Roman cinema to conjure a procession of visions: garments that speak in whispers, silhouettes that drift between eras. Like the “green theatre” at Villa Reale di Marlia or the intimate stage of the Teatro della Cometa, this is a performance where memory and imagination move in tandem and where the boundaries between reality and reverie quietly dissolve.

The most important private collection of ancient Roman sculptures, assembled throughout the 19th century by the princely Torlonia Family in Rome, is being shown to the public for the first time since the mid-20th century in a series of special exhibitions.

Across these portraits, identity emerges through nuance rather than likeness alone.

In ancient Rome, the language of sculpture allowed individuals to be seen not only as they were, but as they wished to be understood. Subtle shifts in hairstyle, the fall of drapery, or the treatment of the beard could align a figure with imperial authority, philosophical virtue, or the realm of the divine.

Seen together, these busts reveal a shared visual grammar, but also its infinite modulation. Each face participates in a broader system of representation, while maintaining a distinct presence shaped by intention, convention, and memory.

What remains is not simply the image of an individual, but the trace of a choice: how to appear, how to belong, and how to endure.

On view at the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal until July 19.

Cupid and Psyche takes shape in the 2nd century AD, a moment when the Roman world was deeply drawn to stories of transformation, trial, and the fate of the soul.

In a society where marriage was often political and love rarely the point, this story offered something different:
the idea that desire could disrupt order, overturn expectations, and ultimately transform those caught within it.

Perhaps that is why it resonated, not as a reflection of reality, but as a space to imagine love freed from it.
