«Nuragica», the exhibition at the Archaeological Museum of Naples has been extended

A bet won by the director Paolo Giulierini who wanted to accompany the exhibition of the finds proposed by the international exhibition “Sardinia Megalithic Island” with a project with an innovative language capable of addressing any category of people: from the enthusiast looking for historically correct information to the tourist looking for a first level of knowledge of the theme.

Al Mann

In the case of the Sardegna Isola Megalitica exhibition, the meeting with Nuragica was fundamental because it filled and integrated all those elements that the exhibition alone, despite having a high profile set-up, was unable to convey, says the director Giulierini. Nuragica had this effect: to make people understand what we exhibited with archaeological objects. The audience was thrilled. We are convinced that the relationship with Nuragica and its methodology can be replicated in other areas of the museum and there will be opportunities to study together a specific project for other cultural offers that can go from Magna Graecia to Pompeii.

Visitors

In the first 3 months of opening, thousands of visitors of all ages and from all over the world decided to spend an hour of their time inside the Sardinian civilization experience. A fantastic taste of Sardinian history in the Neapolitan territory, defined her by a Neapolitan visitor. The MANN dresses up with the future and has given us intense frames from our past and then again: The guide accompanied us to a wonderful land that we almost had the sensation of really stepping on with our feet. It is this infinite baggage of beauty, this heritage that makes me proud to be Italian, comments another on social media.

Nuragic

Pride also what the creators of Nuragica feel, Paolo Alberto Pinna and Maria Carmela Solinas of the Sardinia Experience Cooperative that in 2017 they created the tourist-cultural format and that after a long tour on the island they decided to consolidate the project by inaugurating the first one in via Roma in Cagliari Museum Experience dedicated to the history of Nuragic Sardinia and at the same time landing in Naples in June with a special edition of Nuragica at the request of the Archaeological Museum. A great organizational effort that found support in the great tenacity and passion of his team. Dedication that is perceived as soon as you cross the threshold of the exhibition. Don’t call it an exhibition. But a succession of surprises and emotions that reveal an unexpected story to be experienced in one breath, the curators are keen to specify.

Real and virtual experience

Nuragic designed precisely to catapult the visitor a thousand years before the foundation of Rome and experience a real journey through time like an explorer. The added value of the format is the storytelling that accompanies the visitor through evocative settings and reconstructions that tell a synthesis of the island’s archaeological heritage and a land that 3500 years ago gave birth to, an advanced society capable of building 10,000 stone towers as high as palaces of today, to interpret metallurgy as skilled artists but also to give life to the first monumental statuary of our West, explains Paolo Alberto Pinna. And as time passes, the visitor also meets the protagonists: men and women who already represented examples of advanced sociality with well-defined social roles and community models unusually close to ours. In the first segment of the path you can stroll through a built-up area reconstructed on a scale of 1 to 1, while in the second you can sit in the augmented reality room designed by the Neapolitan Sebastiano DevaCEO Tripper Experience Appspecialized in virtual museum installations: the public, wearing particular viewers, experiences the sensation of flying over a megalithic settlement.

Tripper Experience App

Class ’73, graduated in aesthetics and philosophy of languages, Deva, already an artist, has created “experience systems” at numerous museums in Italy and abroad since 2013, the year of the foundation of App Tripper, a start-up specialized in technological enhancement of the Italian historical and artistic heritage and in “mobile” solutions for smart tourism. He has generated digital platforms in augmented and virtual reality for museums such as the Uffizi, Giorgio Armani Silos, Palazzo Ducale, Circo Massimo and many others, throughout the Peninsula. Today he returns “home” to the Archaeological Museum of Naples.
