ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Born in the era of computers and the Internet, digital natives belong to a generation deeply marked by technology. Yet, just for them a new possibility opens: rediscovering what is often closer and, precisely for this reason, is likely to remain invisible.
Is it possible to be born in Milan or Rome, Venice or Palermo, Florence or Naples and have never seen the most symbolic place of the culture of your city? Yes, you can.
From an idea by Massimiliano Finazzer Flory, who coined the term “Artistics” with the support of Enel and the scientific collaboration of the Augusto Rancilio Foundation, for the first time, therefore, in six Italian cities Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence, Naples and Palermo, young people between 18 and 25 years, up to one hundred per stage, will be protagonists of a journey to the discovery of art, its own city and its secrets.
For the first time, a project dedicated to the new generations wants to accompany girls and boys to discover an iconic founding work of the city in which they live, crossed every day without really knowing the representative beauty.
To participate, young people must declare that they have never visited the cultural good of the city in which they were born. It will then be “first time” that will give life to the artistic natives.
On the Roman Forums the Noble Chemist College Pharmaceutical, the Leonardo da Vinci Cenacle Vinciano, the Badia Fiorentina where Boccaccio began the first public readings of the “Divina Commedia”, the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice with its treasures from the Code of Homer’s Iliad at the will of Marco Polo, the theatres: San Carlo di Napoli 290 years after its foundation and Massimo di Palermo 130 years after its inauguration.
Their first time becomes a museum to be discovered, a theater to be inhabited, a story to meet. Through art, culture and knowledge of the heritage of their city, young people will be able to look with new eyes what surrounds them.
The goal is not to counter technology and culture, but to create a relationship between the two. For a generation accustomed to having the world at your fingertips, the project offers a different experience: discovering the value of beauty, the memory of places and the cultural heritage that belongs to all.
They are young people in the territory who still ignore his treasures. With this project they can open up to a new awareness: knowing their artistic identity also means knowing better themselves, their future and our Italy.
“Because art is not just something to see. It is something that can offer a rebirth. If the contemporary era gave birth to the digital natives, the time has come to bring birth also the artistic natives: young people able to inhabit the present without
forget the culture, to use technology without sacrificing beauty, to look at its territory no longer as a background, but as a living part of its identity.
Because only the cultural imagination continues to generate life and hope. Beauty is a friend of the gift,” said the director and actor Massimiliano Finazzer Flory, creator of “Artistics”.
