Love, Chaos and other disasters. Ovid’s Metamorphoses

Galleria Borghese launches an original podcast curated by Claudio Sagliocco and produced by Fandango Podcast. A sonic journey that begins with Ovid’s verses and the works on display to explore timeless and deeply relevant themes: love, desire, violence and transformation.

Love, Chaos and Other Disasters. Ovid’s Metamorphoses is a five-episode narrative that moves between ancient myths and contemporary sensibilities. More than a companion to the exhibition, it offers a parallel experience: a different way to enter Ovid’s stories and discover how they continue to speak to us today.

Guiding listeners is the voice of art historian Claudio Sagliocco, who weaves together reflections and perspectives from scholars, actors, writers, singer-songwriters and artists. The result is a vibrant and unexpected dialogue in which myth sheds its distance and reveals itself for what it has always been: an inexhaustible source of inspiration for creative minds.

Beyond the museum galleries and far from academic language, the podcast reveals the enduring contemporary power of the Metamorphoses: a work that, like all classics, continues to transform alongside us and never ceases to offer new meanings
