Cultural Heritage In Italy

Yesterday we had the opportunity to attend an interesting photo exhibition focusing on the Cultural Heritage in Italy. After a failed attempt to join the event without an official invitation (it was the opening night, otherwise it s a free entry event), thanks to Alessandro, our italian volunteer and his connections to the Italian Embassy, we were able to enjoy a quite impressive exhibition held at the Museum Centre. Italy has over 42 sites inscribed in UNESCO World Heritage and the exhibition consisted in three parts: "Environment and Landscapes", "From Rural Settlements to Milllennial Capitals" and "From Prehistory to the Early Christian Era". A lot of memories from my highschool Art History manual suddenly came into my mind and this evening s purpose was accomplished, I am going to visit Italy, for sure! Here is a favourite mosaic of mine from Villa del Casale, Sicilia, depicting two gymnasts.
