MITREO – CONTEMPORARY ART, also called MITREOISIDE, is a prestigious location of 800mq, granted in use by the City Hall XI Arvalia of Rome (ex XV) who shared its intent. A space abandoned for more than twenty years and redeveloped by the will and passion of the artist Monica Melani, who considers it one of the most complex and at the same time extraordinary works of her research started on the 1981 about the creative process ‘On the invisible thread that unites everything’ and the discovery of a new way to do Art at the service of the human being and its evolution. Inaugurated on the year 2007 this space wants to be the place to live Art, to recover dreams and talents, to prevent discomfort and loneliness. The main purpose is to put at the centre of all the activities and relationships the creative part of each person, that originality which makes us one of a kind and unique, without being afraid of that "diversity" to get to know, to expand and share as a wealth at the service of the whole community. Mitreo it is in fact conceived and built in his set up as a place-work in ‘continuous becoming’ where to meet international artists, organizations, public and private corporations, associations, communities, companies committed to bring culture and economic development to relaunch Corviale. This area is already known and studied by all the universities of the world for its architecture inspired by Le Corbusier and the goal is to centre the attention as well as in the city of Rome, with the ambition of an international expansion. It’s a multipurpose and multifunctional space where are scheduled daily languages courses for children and adults from 3 to 90 years, art classes such as visual arts, classical dance, contemporary, popular, theatre shows, singing, art therapy. All the activities are free of charge for disadvantaged people in order to have equal opportunities. Mitreo’s original purpose was helping restore the social and propulsive value of art to the centre of Contemporary society. Through the time it has been distinguished for attracting and connecting culture and creative resources bringing economy in the borough to the advantage of the community members realising in partnership with other association, professional people, private and public companies almost 600 events such as 120 group and private art exhibitions, concerts, shows, entertainment, conferences and congresses, book presentations more than 50% free entrance. It became over the years an important point of aggregation and cultural reference thanks to the audience appreciation. More than 3000 national and international artists did choose Mitreo as the location to give visibility to their artworks and performances. In 2024, MitreoIside aps ets organized, in collaboration with MI.C. RO of Salvatore Carbone an excellent exhibition “Giulio D'Anna and the Italian Aeropainters” which, with its 70 works by the likes of Giacomo and Elica Balla, Tullio Crali, Tato, Dottori, Prampolini, Depero, D'Anna himself, Andreozzi, Ambrosi, Fillia, Canevari, Baldessari, Sibò, Benedetto, Bruschetti,  Gambini, Dulgheroff, Venna, Di Bosso, Delle Site, Ciacielli, Duse, Lepore, Mazzorin, Voltolina, Saladin, Di Lazzaro, Osvaldo Bot, Mario Gros and beautiful ten works by female aeropainters such as Benedetta, Marisa Mori, Barbara, Leandra Angelucci Cominazzini, Adele Gloria, Magda Falchetto, drew enthusiasts from all over Italy. The catalog includes texts by curators Maurizio Scudiero and Anna Maria Ruta, historians Giancarlo Carpi, Elena Gigli and Claudio Cantella, Albertina D'Anna and art directors Salvatore Carbone and Monica Melani.  The exhibition was made possible by loans from private collectors, the Futurist and Baldessari archives in Rovereto, the Depero archive, the Futur-ism portal, and galleries such as:  LeoGalleries, Matteotti, Lattuada and Pirra.
