Maona Monte-Carlo
Re-opening of Maona Monte-Carlo. When the sun goes down, the Riviera party vibe comes alive in Monaco.

Savour every instant.
This new party venue revives the light-hearted, carefree evenings of the 1960s and 70s that helped build the reputation of the Côte d’Azur. The name itself is an amalgam of the first two letters of Maria Callas and the first three letters of (Aristotle) Onassis.

Pasolini in Chiaroscuro – Exhibition
The new exhibition at the Villa Sauber honours Pier Paolo Pasolini, perhaps the last European intellectual to have gained worldwide renown. He is considered one of the defining public intellectuals in 20th-century Italian history, influential both as an artist and a political figure. A half-century on from his death, his influence can still be felt across the different fields in which he worked: he is read, commented on, adapted, and inspires contemporary creative artists. While he preferred to describe himself as a writer, it was his films that brought him to the public’s attention. The exhibition looks at his inspirations and his legacy. Until Sunday, September 29 at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Sauber. Discover more, including the screening program of Pasolini’s films, here.
