PESARO - 'Entering' the frescoes of the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican.

It will be possible thanks to a project of the Sonosphere of Pesaro, a technological amphitheater unique in the world for the deep listening of ecosystems and music, which pays homage to Raphael.

The program, developed for the fifth centenary of the death of the Divine Painter as part of Pesaro's candidacy for the Italian Capital of Culture 2024, will be officially presented on January 14 and open to the public from Saturday January 15.


    Raffaello in Sonosfera, explain the organizers of the Pesaro Civic Museums, is a work of digital linguistic innovation designed to tell the painter through 'three-dimensional' sound and 360-degree vision. In the Sonosphere, inaugurated in 2020, designed by David Monacchi, the audience sits in a transparent cavea with 45 speakers positioned in the spherical geometry of an acoustically perfect geode, capable of reproducing the three-dimensional sound landscape with very high audio definition, accompanied by a 24k projection spherical crown for 360 degree images. Thanks to this technology, the Sonosphere allows you to enter, with the senses and the intellect, into the beauty of one of Raphael's most significant masterpieces: the cycle of frescoes in the Stanza della Segnatura.Thanks to the collaboration with the Vatican Museums, La Stanza will be reconstructed on the large circular projection space and above all listened to thanks to a great work of 'musical deciphering' of the frescoes: the sound of painted musical instruments and that of natural elements will be reproduced, but also a mass by Josquin Desprez coeval with the frescoes and a sonnet by Raphael himself (engraved by an ensemble specialized in the early 1500s repertoire) and an electroacoustic composition composed ad hoc starting from the geometric / mathematical representations found in the frescoes.the sound of painted musical instruments and that of natural elements will be reproduced, but also a mass by Josquin Desprez coeval with the frescoes and a sonnet by Raphael himself (engraved by an ensemble specialized in the early 16th century repertoire) and an electroacoustic composition composed ad hoc starting from the geometric / mathematical representations found in the frescoes.the sound of painted musical instruments and that of natural elements will be reproduced, but also a mass by Josquin Desprez coeval with the frescoes and a sonnet by Raphael himself (engraved by an ensemble specialized in the early 16th century repertoire) and an electroacoustic composition composed ad hoc starting from the geometric / mathematical representations found in the frescoes.


    Raffaello in Sonosfera is a work by David Monacchi and Simone Sorini, assisted by a team of musicians and digital artists who have plumbed and reassembled the frescoes down to the smallest detail with a definition never attempted before. The sound will come from a system of interconnected speakers to recreate an acoustic field very close to reality, to enjoy the music like nowhere else. The project is an attempt to experience the history of art in a completely new key, that of sound. A shared sensory and cognitive experience that facilitates intimacy with what is to be considered the most spiritual, and ultimately most human, part of Raphael. During the visits, Raphael's program will alternate with that of Fragments of Extinction in the Climatic Clock, asound and visual immersion in uncontaminated ecosystems of Amazonia, Africa and Borneo within the most biodiverse and oldest equatorial primary forests on Earth, recorded with innovative three-dimensional technologies in almost twenty years by David Monacchi for the interdisciplinary project Fragments of Extinction.
