Fantasy and eternity

Men travelling between the Past and the Future

9 March 2018, 4:45 pm
Pescara, Aurum - Ideas Factory 

Eternity and fantasy represent two constants of human life, complementary dimensions stemming from our imagination and from the universal language of emotions. Two concepts that continuously renew with the ever-changing movements of societies and cultures, through time, without loosing their fundamental ethical function: give sense to our shared present, express a common vision and direction, create a woven that connects humans. The aim of the day was exploring these extraordinary values through the account and the experience of those that live them in their everyday-life, restoring the essence and the memory of past tales and revisiting millenary arts with new vitality. On the threshold between ancient and future, reality and imagination, thought and emotion.
