FROM ancient Greek statues with futuristic helmets to gladiator shields decorated with shoes, a series of Italian contemporary art works are going on show among the ruins of Rome's Forum.
Many of the creations by 17 artists - spread throughout the vast complex which was once the teeming heart of Rome - were made especially for the "Post-Classical" exhibition opening Thursday, which explores the links between contemporary art and antiquity.
"What brings them together is the need to reinvent the fundamental themes of Classicism, to the point of rendering them unrecognizable," exhibition curator Vincenzo Trione said.
