Visita guidata alla rara collezione di arte neogotica della Casa Museo Wunderkammer. Nel Gabinetto della Wunderkammer il visitatore scoprirà una rara collezione di **disegni, acquerelli e dipinti dal XVI al XIX secolo**, dedicati al grande revival romantico del Medioevo. Cappelle gotiche illuminate dalla luna, **cavalieri templari**, alchimisti, figure in meditazione presso tombe medievali e visioni spirituali del passato compongono un affascinante viaggio nell’immaginario medievale del Romanticismo europeo. Queste opere raccontano la nostalgia per il Medioevo che attraversò l’arte europea tra il Cinquecento e l’Ottocento, quando artisti e studiosi riscoprirono il mondo cavalleresco, l’architettura gotica e le leggende medievali. Nella collezione sono presenti opere e studi legati alla grande tradizione medievalista europea, con riferimenti ad **Antoine Vérard (1510), Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, Caspar Scheuren, agli artisti del movimento dei Nazareni (come Johann Christian Losch)** e alla scuola **preraffaellita e romantica**, raramente visibili in Italia. Il Gabinetto della Wunderkammer ricrea l’atmosfera di un **cabinet romantico di studio**, simile a quello che il grande artista e teorico dell’arte **William Morris** conservava nel suo celebre atelier medievalista. Un’esperienza unica tra **arte, simboli e immaginario medievale** nel cuore della Casa Museo Wunderkammer. Orario: dalle 21.00 alle 23.00 Durata: circa 2 ore Ingresso: 20 € Prenotazione obbligatoria Prenotazioni: 349 4030660 (anche WhatsApp) [rivendel7@gmail.com](mailto:rivendel7@gmail.com "rivendel7@gmail.com") https://www.wunderkammer-roma.com/drawings/ 117 recensioni 5 stelle: [https://www.wunderkammer-roma.com/recensioni-reviews](https://www.wunderkammer-roma.com/recensioni-reviews) \- RAI 2 ha girato un servizio sulla Wunderkammer per "Top \- Tutto quanto fa tendenza": [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnQxaRlCz20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnQxaRlCz20) "*Difficile descrivere con le parole quello che si vive entrando in un luogo che si manifesta, all'inizio con l'accoglienza del padrone di casa che senza filtri ti guida in un percorso di bellezza e arte dove ogni pezzo ha la sua 'unicità' e non smette mai di stupirti.... Per proseguire con la magia della musica che attraversa l'anima. Tutto contornato da umiltà e cordialità. Un luogo unico per immergersi in una favola*". (Maria Grazia Nartinelli)

Il **Quartiere Coppedè** è uno dei luoghi più misteriosi e affascinanti di Roma: un vero museo a cielo aperto, ricco di simboli esoterici, richiami medievali, gotici, rinascimentali e liberty. Durante questa visita guidata a piedi, il Dott. Marco Lo Muscio, direttore della Casa Museo Wunderkammer, accompagnerà i partecipanti alla scoperta delle simbologie nascoste del quartiere: api, leoni, aquile, arieti, rane, grifoni, cavalieri, elementi alchemici e massonici che rendono il Coppedè unico in Europa. Un percorso affascinante e coinvolgente, pensato per chi ama l'arte, la storia e i luoghi fuori dal comune. **Sabato 14 Marzo**: Due turni di visite: * **ore 15.00** * **ore 16.15** Appuntamento: **via Dora 2**, sotto il grande arco • 15 € a persona Prenotazioni: 349 4030660 (anche WhatsApp) [rivendel7@gmail.com](mailto:rivendel7@gmail.com "rivendel7@gmail.com") [https://www.wunderkammer-roma.com/quartiere-coppede](https://www.wunderkammer-roma.com/quartiere-coppede)/ \- RAI 2 ha girato un servizio sul Coppedè ed il museo Wunderkammer con il Dott\. Lo Muscio per "Top \- Tutto quanto fa tendenza": [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlKekuXl9eY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlKekuXl9eY) "*La visita guidata è veramente piena di fascino e ti fa capire tutti i dettagli esoterici del quartiere. La differenza con le altre visite è che il Dott. Lo Muscio è anche il creatore della Casa-Museo Wunderkammer nello stile del quartiere ed è poi una visita fatta con l'entusiasmo di un artista dato che il Maestro Lo Muscio è anche un impirtante musicista internazionale! Da consigliare assolutamente.*" (Marta Giordani)

Domenica mattina, alle 11, nel verde di Villa Torlonia, ci prendiamo un’ora. Un’ora per rallentare il ritmo della settimana, rientrare nel corpo, respirare con più attenzione. Inizieremo con una pratica di yoga accessibile, per sciogliere tensioni e ritrovare presenza, e lasceremo poi spazio alla meditazione, senza forzature, senza aspettative. Non serve esperienza, non serve “saper fare”. Basta arrivare. Il contributo è di 10€. Porta con te un tappetino e qualcosa di semplice ma essenziale: disponibilità a fermarti, anche solo per un momento. Ci vediamo lì!

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
