(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 27 - A close-up of the bust and the hands of the "Dama col mazzolino" by Andrea Del Verrocchio, the work, kept in Florence at the National Museum of Bargello, which Stefano Boeri was inspired by to develop the logo of the anti Covid vaccination campaign.
But also a research on the 'flower announcing spring' conducted and shared by all its institutes, from libraries to archives from museums to archaeological parks: the ministry of cultural heritage and tourism led by Dario Franceschini takes the field in support of the # VaccineDay by launching a campaign on the social profiles of Mibact.
A riot of primroses of different species, with yellow, orange and pink corollas.
Which are found carved on marble, printed on parchment, painted on porcelain, cataloged in ancient herbaria, described in scrupulous botanical codes.
Uncaleidoscope of expressions of art ranging from primroses inlaid in the "fireplace frieze" by Francesco di GiorgioMartini at Palazzo Ducale in Gubbio, to the embroidery of a traditional costume from Calabria exhibited at the Museum of Civilizations in Rome;
from the porcelain of the Discry Manufacture to the National Gallery of Palazzo Spinola in Genoa, to a 1919 postcard from the Cesare Poma Fund of the State Archives of Biella.
Primroses that are found in the Cinquecentine of the University library of Cagliari, as in the volumes on the "Italian Flora or Collection of the most beautiful plants that are grown in the Italian gardens" of the Palatine Library of Parma or in the flower crown of the "Winged Nymph" by Gennaro De Crescenzo , in the neoclassical room of the Royal Palace in Naples.
All together, the ministry underlines, "for the unanimous commitment of Culture in favor of the health of citizens and the relaunch of the country".
