Five hundred years since the death of Leonardo Da Vinci, genius of science and the Arts, five hundred years since the death of one of the most charismatic and influential historical figures in history, will not go unnoticed in the Pompeian city. On Wednesday 18 December the “Costanzo Mattiello” theatre will take a leap into the past to revive the memory of the great Leonardo. With the moral patronage of the Municipality of Pompeii and the organizational management of the cultural tourism laboratory “Sensi Linguaggi Creativi” directed by the freelance promoter Giuseppe Scagliarini, “Leonardo and the Renaissance” will be held, a multidisciplinary meeting full of voices, opinions, personalities and guests. The event was born from the discovery in the Archaeological Park of Pompeii of a fresco with a marked sensuality depicting Leda and the Swan, a subject surprised by a Greek sculptural model by Timothy from the XNUMXth century. It will be possible to hear Paolo Giulierini, director of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, who will explain the relationship and the gap that exists between a work of classical civilization and one that documents the classical rebirth of the modern age. The works exhibited in the museums and the Farnese collection, dating back to the Renaissance period, will guide us in the complex life work of Da Vinci. The Neapolitan museums, in collaboration with the Superintendency of Pompeii, have carried out an interesting and profitable work through exhibitions, meetings and conferences to explore the possible implications that Archaeology and History of Art provide to research. The second part of the meeting will focus on the role assumed by museums in recent years: educational function, research, becoming inclusive, plural and democratic spaces in which the public is no longer a simple spectator but is conceived, progressively, as co-curator of the contents of the same. The journey through art and history will be sublime and accompanied by the voices and knowledge of several guests: the archaeologist Mario Grimaldi, the artist Franco Cipriano, Valeria Auricchio, art blogger of DAMS Salerno and the sociologist Anna Malinconico. The hosts are Diletta Boné Acanfora, actress and the journalist expert in Cultural Heritage, Lucio Esposito.
The evening will be surrounded by performances by artists: the singer Loretta Moretto accompanied by the dancer Daniela Daf Moretto, the musicians of the Artemus Academy and the dancers of the Amelia Mascia dance school, “Le Divine”.
The appointment is at 19,00:XNUMX pm at the “Costanzo Mattiello” theater in Pompeii, with free admission.
