A new interest in Fondazione Carla Fendi opening up to Science for the first time. Science as research, intuition. Science as Art. With this spirit, the Foundation brings to the Festival an exhibition of a historical-scientific nature. A project that develops on a different and parallel path.

In the Lucrezia Borgia Armory, formerly the Civic Museum, the theme MYTH TRANSFIGURATIONS is addressed. Precious artifacts find their place in an immersive installation: ancient Oriental Shales (2nd - 4th centuries AD) from the Gandhara region along with to Western Classical marbles from the Greco-Roman era. An art-historical journey of what the West and the East meeting have been able to create and build around the inner search for the absolute.

Scientific advisors: Marco Galli , Associate Professor in Classical Archaeology, Sapienza Department of Antiquities, University of Rome; Laura Giuliano , Curator for India and Southeast Asia, Museum of Civilizations, Rome.

At the same time in the Church of the Golden Manna we talk about SCIENCE. A virtual astrophysical installation takes us from the Big Bang to the results of the most contemporary reality: the CERN European Center for Nuclear Research. A journey through time and space assisted by the experience ...of INFN, National Institute of Nuclear Physics.

Science installation curators: Lucas | Federica Grigoletto .

A performance precedes the unveiling of the installations. On the stage a play on the theme, a brand new video produced by Fondazione Carla Fendi, young musicians with futuristic instruments and authoritative testimonies take us into the dialectic that from always moves man between spirituality and reason.

Curator of the installation on the theme of Myth and director of the inaugural performance, Quirino Conti .
