Boom in visitors for the initiative of the Degni art school. A project for the restyling of the Mills was also presented
Greek’s tower. The «Hidden Treasures of Campania» itinerary promoted by the Francesco Degni art high school to promote knowledge of the artistic heritage of the area ended with great public success.
The initiative involved the simultaneous opening to the public of three key sites in Torre del Greco: Baronial Palace with the Hundred Fountains; the Church of Santa Maria del Principio with access to the crypt below with the main altar surrounded by seventeenth-century lava; the coral and cameo museum inside the high school in Piazza Luigi Palomba.
Visits to the school laboratories in full swing were very popular: the 3D laboratory of the architecture and environment branch and the engraving, goldsmithing and graphic art laboratories, in which the pupil-guides answered a barrage of questions, showed artefacts, cameos and jewels in progress and shared the ongoing projects with visitors.
Including the project of the 3D Architecture laboratory, already presented to the mayor Luigi Mennella present at the initiative with the councilor for public education Mariateresa Sorrentino: it is a redevelopment plan for the port and the complex of the former Molini Marzoli designed in full respect of ecology, inclusiveness and shared usability.
It was this usability that particularly struck the visitors who concluded their vision of the project by wishing it a future realization. This awareness suggested the viaticum to accompany the visit of the chosen sites: Palazzo Baronial and Cento Fontane, Coral Museum, the Church of Santa Maria del Principio.
The “guides” of this mini-tour were extremely well prepared: the artistic and tourist students of the artistic high school documented the history of the sites with great commitment and accompanied the public as Ciceroni. «I am particularly satisfied with the public success of the event – the words of the school director Benedetta Rostan -. People whose deep sense of belonging drives us to visit us every time we promote a new initiative and open the museum and laboratories to the public. This time many tourists also responded who, visiting our city, took up our invitation and came both to the museum and to visit the city sites we had chosen. And, as my student guides told me, they were very curious and interactive people. I am proud of my students and their teachers, who always participate with great enthusiasm and proactivity. Every event we do is a real task that makes our kids increasingly aware of the professionalism they are acquiring and whose distinctive feature is given by that wealth of informal and non-formal skills that they bring into play and of which they often don’t even have conscious. The enthusiasm makes the work behind the preparation of these events lighter, which are now finally starting to intensify.”
