Description
The volume was created by the artist Sarah Bowyer on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy, an event of crucial importance for our country. Italy, as it already did in 1911 and in 1961 for the fiftieth and centenary, celebrates the anniversary with a great event which has been given the title Experience Italy. The 150×150 work is a large Italian flag made up of 150 portraits of the most significant characters in the history of Italy from unification to today. The large canvas takes the viewer through the courage and stubbornness of model Italians in the fields of politics, industry, commerce, literature, fashion, art, music, sport and the religious world, without forgetting the great cinema, the forces of order and whatever else was important for the creation of a state rich in cultural, ideological and evolutionary ferment.
