Argilla. Storie di Viaggi. Un itinerario scientifico e didattico fra mari e millenni. Presentazione della mostra, Gallerie d’Italia, Vicenza (dal 29 settembre 2022 al 8 giugno 2023)

Argilla. Storie di viaggi is the title of a new exhibition and the second part of an in-depth study whose first edition was entitled Argilla. Storie di vasi. Thanks to the inspiration provided by the Intesa Sanpaolo vase collection, the exhibition brings non specialists closer to the archaeological ceramic heritage by highlighting those aspects of it which are still relevant today. This scientific-educational project – curated by Monica Salvadori, Monica Baggio, and Luca Zamparo, with installation design by Michele Franzina – reflects on the aggregating function of Greek ceramics in the Mediterranean basin. Greek ceramics were not only a source of inspiration, exchange, and development for new vascular production in Southern Italy, but also a medium to channel ideas, cultural and social practices, as well as economic relations.
