About this Event

A MAPPING OF ITALY 

A cultural and artistic exploration of the territory through some  of Italy’s most beautiful mosaic icons: a set of fragments that,  assembled and coordinated in a visual and audio story-telling  language - and through different media - reconcile individual  stories with collective ones and vice versa. Attention is focused  not only on the cultural assets described and individual artistic  expressions, but also, and even more so, on the underlying territory and the relationships, the intangible knowledge, and  the legends and symbols it is home to. 

THE EXHIBITION STATIONS 

In a journey touching on :

  • Rome
  • Pompeii
  • Aquileia
  • Ravenna
  • Palermo
  • Monreale
  • Piazza Armerina
  • Baiae

In a narrative  embracing the different sites and the Farnesina Collection, the  stories of the ancient, the modern and the contemporary worlds  unfold.  

True theatrical stage machines whose surfaces are clad with  novel marvels: gold, symbols and allegories, domes, walls and  floors, lit up by a polychromy of tesserae, populated by  characters, starry skies and constellations, arabesques, dolphins,  labyrinths and battles that give the visitor's eyes a sense of  reverential bewilderment.
