Inauguration by Rector Tottoli and Gesac CEO Barbieri.
The exhibition space in the boarding hall, which houses some archaeological finds from the University of Naples L'Orientale, coming from the “Umberto Scerrato” Museum, was inaugurated today at 12:00, in the presence of the rector Roberto Tottoli and the CEO of Gesac, Roberto Barbieri.
Next to the exhibition area, there is a multimedia totem with short continuous films illustrating the locations of L'Orientale and the museum collections. Departing passengers will be able to admire some of the most significant finds from the Museum dedicated to the archaeologist Umberto Scerrato (1928-2004) which includes a large section on Islamic, Chinese, East African, Near Eastern and Indian art.
The knowledge and riches of L'Orientale are increasingly opening up to the city, as we will soon do with the Languages festival, and to those who come to visit it. This initiative, carried out in a strategic location, is a further step in this direction. With Gesac it is not the only project that we share because we have others planned, which we will carry forward with pride because Gesac is one of the excellences of our territory.
Anyone who loves to travel cannot help but love the cultures and civilizations of the world, which we at our University have been committed to making known for almost three centuries now, says the Rector of L'Orientale Roberto Tottoli.
The airport is an inclusive place, a crossroads of cultures and languages, and the Orientale has always represented, for our city, a window onto the world. It seemed natural to us to establish a collaborative relationship that, in addition to promoting and enhancing the museum collections and knowledge of the University, includes initiatives such as conferences, summer schools and research activities that strengthen our ties with the territory and improve the travel experience of passengers to whom we “give” a fragment of the oldest school of Sinology and Orientalism in Europe.
