TEVERETERNO Director Tom Rankin, a long-time friend of Tevereterno and supporter of its efforts to reactivate Rome’s urban riverfront, has announced that he is stepping down in order to dedicate time to other projects and teaching.

During Tom’s three-year period in office the organization grew dramatically, establishing for the first time a tangible local headquarters in Rome and a strong public presence globally. “The highlight of my tenure,” Rankin states,  “was certainly the chance to collaborate with William Kentridge and help Triumphs and Laments become a reality, but we also saw countless smaller initiatives flourish.”

Tom Rankin intends to remain active in the organization’s activities, in particular overseeing the annual Tevere Pulito initiative which he launched. He can be reached at [email protected].
