ROME - Two small municipalities, Castro and Pienza, and two islands, Procida and Murano, to tell the wonders of the Italian cultural heritage abroad.
It is the first stage of the Insulae project, signed by Treccani and Magister Art and launched on the occasion of Expo Dubai.
A long-term encyclopedic journey that aims to map the new cultural geography of the 'islands' of our country and which for now starts with 4 short films released until January 15 in the Gallery and in the Study Room of the Italian Pavilion, on the occasion of the dedicated week to the theme Travel and connections: from sustainable tourism to the digitization of heritage.
Subsequently, the videos will become an integral part of the Treccani portal (www.treccani.it) and will be presented again in the Pavilion itself from 10 March. In dialogue with the themes of Expo Dubai (Connecting Mind, creating the future) and the Italian Pavilion (Beauty unites people), Insulae aims to map and network Italian territorial excellence, telling a story that has as its interpreters the archaeological, historical, artistic and landscape heritage, but also the people, arts and crafts of the peninsula. A multimedia format of cultural enhancement that combines contents both in analogue or physical and in digital mode, in which the individual items of the Treccani Encyclopedia are visually and filmically augmented in a sort of augmented narration of stories, images and unpublished music,composed ad hoc by Roberta di Mario. All this through the promotion of the geographical islands (Murano and Procida) and conceptual ones such as the small towns (Castro and Pienza), the quintessence of the identity of the Belpaese.
