To celebrate the Treaty of Rome (25 March 1957), the exhibition has as main theme a figurative consideration about European culture, its origins, and its most characteristic aspects: Europe, 60 years of peace - art, culture, and history of European people.
The works represent the relevant stages of the European project recent history, starting from the important exchanges occurred between the different cultural contexts, celebrating some music icons, the important scientific innovations, and cinematographic art.
From 22 to 31 May, piazza Brescia will be transformed into a large open air creative workshop, where the imposing sand sculptures will be realised. All the visitors will be able to follow the sand works step by step, from the first sketch to the complete work.
