The last words of Christ

  • Thursday 1 April 2021 at 18:30

Masaccio's evocative Crucifixion preserved at the Real Bosco and Capodimonte Museum in Naples is the starting point for profound cultural and philosophical reflections, to reach the central idea that thought does not arise only from words and images, but also from music and sounds. As breathtaking as painting can be, it fixes us to a proximity, to a closeness with each painting, while music, thanks to its ability to reach us unmediated, transports us to unthinkable distances.
The Director of the Real Bosco and Capodimonte Museum **Sylvain Bellenger** will participate and the Director of Corporate Communications and Media Relations of the Unipol Group **Vittorio Verdone** will moderate.
