“That journey that beauty begins in the heart and life of the man touched by it, pushes him, step by step after step, towards the happiness for which he is made and to which he tirelessly awakened by the signs that show up again along the way”.
Enzo Arnone 

In the mountains, reality imposes itself on the gaze: the mountains themselves call us to look up and In front of them we feel both amazement and desire to climb them. During the visit to the exhibition, you will make high-altitude travel, “paradigm of life”. In this journey we will proceed, in a figurative sense, on Mountaineering routes, tied by a rope to climbing companions. You will learn while roped you can spur reciprocally, help, enhance. Throughout the journey we will follow a guide, always in a creative way, with all the richness of our self on the way. It is the desire to get to the top that will make us appreciate mates and understand the value of friendship. The spectacle of the high-altitude route will impose a silence that gives space to surprise and wonder. Along with the fatigue there will be contentment and maybe even emotion, up to a deep yearning that will make you ask: Where does so much beauty come from? The exhibition itinerary, divided into 6 rooms, takes the visitor “into the mountains”, accompanied by the guide, from the departure to the refuge and then to the top. The exhibition spaces will be full of large images, texts, quotes, and videos.
At the end the visitor will have the opportunity to meet mountaineers and friends of the mountain.
