The Echoes Through Time exhibition has opened at Hotel Eden Rome in partnership with Galleria Russo, transforming the historic hotel into a contemporary art space that blends history, culture, and modern artistic expression.

Rome – This January, Dorchester Collection’s Hotel Eden in Rome is pleased to showcase the second exhibition series of Echoes Through Time, in partnership with Galleria Russo, one of Italy’s oldest art galleries. The exhibition by Chiara Sorgato launched on January 15, 2026, inviting guests on an artistic journey through the hotel. From La Libreria and the Sala Borghese to the sixth floor, each space has been transformed into a place of reflection and topical inspiration.

Living and working in Milan, Sorgato is an internationally recognised artist whose paintings explore social, political and anthropological themes with a particular focus on female identity and contemporary power dynamics.

Her work draws on Greek mythology and statistical data, using painting as a tool to analyse rather than represent. Mythological figures such as Elena and Lysistrata, who symbolise beauty, temptation and female leadership, and Pandora who was the first human woman created by the gods, appear as timeless symbols; through which Sorgato examines gender issues and social inequalities.

Echoes Through Time brings together four contemporary artists: Manuel Felisi, Giorgio Tentolini, Chiara Sorgato and Enrico Benetta each offering a personal interpretation of time and memory. The opening exhibition in winter 2025 featured Manuel Felisi, whose layered works explored the concept of time through painting and installation. Subsequent exhibitions include Giorgio Tentolini in spring 2026 and Enrico Benetta in winter 2026.

On the exhibition, Hotel Eden’s general manager Mirko Cattini says, “This collaboration between Galleria Russo and Hotel Eden stems from the meeting of two historic entities, both of which are deeply woven into Rome’s cultural and entrepreneurial fabric. By combining excellence in luxury hospitality with a century of experience in the art world, we wanted to offer a project that goes beyond just an exhibition. Instead, this is a lively dialogue between past and present, and between art and hospitality, that will enrich the guest experience. We are honoured to collaborate with Galleria Russo and host an exciting artistic journey dedicated to four contemporary artists, united by a common vision of time and memory.”

The launch of this exhibition reaffirms Hotel Eden’s commitment to blending art with luxury, while staying true to the timeless elegance that defines its identity. It also reflects Dorchester Collection’s wider vision of building strong, lasting relationships across all its destinations.
