Step into the Auditorium Parco della Musica, the prestigious venue chosen to host the esteemed International Astronomical Union General Assembly (IAU) in 2027. Designed by the visionary Italian architect Renzo Piano, this architectural marvel has captivated audiences since its grand debut in 2002.

Today, the Auditorium stands as one of Europe’s largest multifunctional complexes. But its significance goes beyond its modern accolades; nestled within its walls lies an ancient villa dating back to 200 B.C., seamlessly blending antiquity with contemporary brilliance. It’s not just a venue; it’s an archaeological treasure trove waiting to be explored.

Inside you’ll discover more than just stunning architecture and historical artifacts. The Auditorium is also home to the venerable Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, one of the oldest Academy of Music in the world. Here, luminaries like Pappano, Barenboim, Abbado, Muti, and Morricone grace its halls, leaving their indelible mark on the world stage during their global tours.
