#Laculturanonsiferma, art and history are told on Youtube

Enter the guided tour of the incredible Domus Monumentale of Porta Marina in Ostia, an aristocratic building with a mysterious history, which has come down to us in excellent condition, with its rich colored marbles, images of ferocious animals, portraits. And to discover, guided step by step by a young art historian, the very curious history, that of a building that has been preserved like almost no other of that time thanks to a collapse that took place even during the construction phase. A step back a few centuries and here we are in Herculaneum, on the shores of the sea and in front of the arcades where many fugitives sought in vain for protection from the fury of Vesuvius. And then to the Uffizi, with the director Eike Schmidt who tells the story of the spouses Doni portrayed in Florence by Raphael and Tondo Doni that the rich fabric merchant commissioned Michelangelo.
Closed to the public by the coronavirus emergency, Italian museums have not stopped, on the contrary. Between study insights, new research, reorganization of the collections, they all continue as they can work. And they also take advantage of it to refine the storytelling techniques, to try to enter the homes of Italians through social media and beyond. Dozens and dozens of autonomous initiatives, each with its own attitude, which the ministry led by Dario Franceschini has now decided to order and relaunch by conveying the myriad of interventions in the Mibact youtube channel. "We are working to offer the many museums and sites of Italian culture a single hub that welcomes them and helps them reach the Italians", explains the press office chief Mattia Morandi, head of the digital campaign promoted by the ministry, from the Roman College. It is really worth taking advantage of it, choosing the one you prefer or that intrigues you most in a kaleidoscope of stories, masterpieces, monuments, historical reflections or poetic incursions. From the discovery of the Palazzo Maffei house museum to the Leonardo's Last Supper museum, from the walks of the director Christian Greco in his Egyptian Museum to Melania Mazzucco who visits with us the Raffaello exhibition open and closed at the Quirinale Stables, there is truly something for everyone.
