Greece as never seen before

Dario Assisi and Riccardo Maria Cipolla have decided to put in relation the masterpieces ofGreek antiquity kept in the MANN Museum with the contemporary urban landscapes of the Neapolitan capital: a 'ironic and amazing operation, which strikes perfectly in the sign and which will greatly amuse the lovers of ancient art.

"Venus with sheets stretched out in the sun"

La Venus of Capua will be too busy laying out the sheets to care for visitors, a Doryphorus and its dominion will wait for the bus on the Caracciolo seafront and the Canova dancer will he walk along Vico San Domenico like the beautiful scianose of the past: who will be able to identify all the locations (and the statues) without reading the captions?
