Temple University Rome was honored to present an evening dedicated to the arts and the celebration of emerging talent. On June 24, the Gallery of Art opened its Summer Student Exhibition, featuring the creative work of students enrolled in visual arts courses — photography, printmaking, and drawing. The exhibition offered visitors, faculty, and fellow students an inspiring glimpse into the students’ artistic journeys and the rich experiences they gained while studying abroad.

The evening culminated in a spellbinding dance performance by 14 students from the Balletto di Roma. Set on the university’s panoramic terrace with the iconic Church of Trinità dei Monti as a dramatic backdrop, the dancers performed original choreographies by il Balletto di Roma and Temple Rome Dean Emilia Zankina. The performance brought the night to a powerful close, uniting visual and performing arts in a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and cultural exchange.
