TURIN - "LaMole delle meraviglie" opens on May 10 at the National Cinema Museum, an exhibition curated by Stefano Bessoni and Domenico De Gaetano, which tells in 150 works the areas in which Bessoni's expressive research moves, from fairy tales to the world of science, from illustrations to stop-motion animation and the manufacture of puppets, up to the great love for cinema. Set up until September 11, the exhibition also has a special focus on Maria Adriana Prolo, scholar, collector and visionary, founder of the National Cinema Museum, who with her determination and dedication has given life to a dream perfectly outlined by Bessoni's dreamlike language.
