MYTHOLOGY FESTIVAL
Myths, gods and heroes in Villa Arconati

After the great success of the first edition, Fondazione Augusto Rancilio presents the second edition of the MYTHOLOGY FESTIVAL.

Four new events on Sundays at 11:00 am: on May 11 with Pietro Marani “Leonardo and his mythological figures: Leda, Hercules, Neptune”; on June 8 with Stefano de Martino “The mythological poem of Gilgamesh and the search for the meaning of life”; on September 28 “The Myths of cinema and cinema as myth” with the film critic Gianni Canova and on October 5 “Myth and MIND” with Marina Brambilla, Rector of UniMi, under the artistic direction of Massimiliano Finazzer Flory, to dialogue, discuss with great names of the Italian cultural scene what “myth” is and what it still speaks to us today.

Myths are stories, but they are also representations of ourselves, of the values, vices and virtues that we have embodied for centuries.

Villa Arconati has been populated by heroes and divinities of classical mythology since the seventeenth century; it is therefore the ideal place to tell stories of beauty, art and culture, but also of love, truth and justice starting from the tales of its theatres, its statues, and its marvelous frescoes.

The "Mythology Festival" events are free, open to the public with limited places. After the meetings it will be possible to visit the Villa after purchasing the entrance ticket.
