Organized by the Romualdo Del Bianco Foundation in collaboration with Gabinetto Vieusseux and Florentine Councillor for International Relations and City Twinning.

With simplicity and force that are characteristic for the works of Maraini, from the pictures and key notes of Florence and Kyoto, parallel cities two alternative cultures transpire: wise but absolute supremacy above the nature, as Florence is expressed, or total and mystical fusion with the nature as Kyoto is seen. The inside cohesion of both prospectives and the religious attitudes induce extensive reflections about what the references to their symbolical side mean for us and about how this kind legacy can be seen.
