 <\/p>\n

Mantua: lights and shadows in All Saints’ night
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A journey dedicated to Italian art and architecture: it starts from Palazzo Te<\/strong> and then get to Villa dei Gonzaga<\/strong>, decorated with mastery by Giulio Romano. Its frescoes dominate the heads of\u00a0 ” walkers” with bold shades and glazes, lit with care, with a brand new system. The you can walk along the “Path of the Prince”, crossing the Temple of San Sebastiano<\/strong> and the home of Mantegna.<\/p>\n

The street carries you to the old Jewish ghetto. A chance to breathe the deplorable and terrible vicissitudes that have affected the Jewish community of Mantua. The tour ends back at the Palazzo Te<\/strong>,\u00a0 crossroads of artists and patrons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cagliari and subterranean civilizations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The route designed for the Cagliari is worthy of an independent reflection. It is a mysterious journey through the underground tunnels, the legacy of a priceless heritage. The galleries testify the ability and adaptation of men throughout history. The “tour” starts from first the cavity in Via Vittorio Veneto, in a double stone wall built during the Second World War. Then you can continue along Via Oslavia to another gallery of refuge, the gallery of Villa Don Bosco, 180 meters long. The walk ends at the wonderful Roman amphitheater<\/strong> in Cagliari, built next to a natural valley. From the memoirs of war to discover the beauty in the heart of this wonderful city of over Tyrrhenian Sea .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We would like to imagine these “collective walks<\/strong>” as opportunities for interaction, where the memories flow and bring to life events and people, expressing our history.<\/p>\n

It will be easy to find in the “native” of the place many answer to our question: they could explain to us why\u00a0 the road rises in an unexpected hump or recall to usthat that alla around a church, “once upon a time”, there were only\u00a0 grain fields and very few houses scattered here and there.<\/p>\n

A real opportunity to learn<\/strong> about local realities, connect them and interpret them in historical perspective, discovering the true face of some of the most beautiful cities in Italy.<\/p>\n

Have a nice walk!<\/p>\n
