Mosaico - Italian Code of a Timeless Art
Overview
A MAPPING OF ITALY
A cultural and artistic exploration of the territory through some
of Italy 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 and 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.
