Creating comics is a real form of art, although it is too often considered as a bare entertainment for kids. In fact comics are powerful means of communication and tools to look ones creativity and imagination.
Comics are even more than this: they are working narrative tools that using images and words (sometimes unaccompanied images) can communicate in the same way as the reader more than any other means of communication. An evidence of the narrative skill of comics is perfect not lonesome by the studious value of many graphic novels, but plus by their brute used to tell historical undertakings and as reworking of literature classics. Comics have showed to be upon the similar level of other forms of art and literature, succeeding in standing comparison afterward them, even giving them something more. The exhibition Etruscomix, Etruria in comics, which will acknowledge place in Rome from the 30th of June to the 25th of October, shows that comics can be compared to and inspired from a pitch that is seemingly unconditionally vary from them: archaeology.
The exhibition, which is meant to create people discover the Etruscan civilization, a civilization that has left many important traces in the Italian areas where it developed, is born of an original, even though not new, idea: six Italian comic-strip writers have been fixed (Francesco Cattani, Marino Neri, Paolo Parisi, Michele Petrucci, Alessandro Rak, Claudio Stassi) and immersed for few days in places that have been described as Auteur residence: the National Etruscan Museum Villa Giulia in Rome, the Necropolis della Banditaccia in Cerveteri and the Museum of Tarquinia. Each area has been visited by two artists, who have taken inspiration from the finds to realise their works. Here are the titles of the works that have been inspired by Etruscan culture and civilization: Etruria (by Claudio Stassi); Una Partenza (A departure, by Marino Neri), Adonie (Alessandro Rak), Lepisodio del fabbro (The episode of the blacksmith, by Francesco Cattani), Netvis (Michele Petrucci), Viaggio (Travel, by Paolo Parisi). If you travel to Rome you will have the possibility to look these works visiting the exhibition at the National Etruscan Museum Villa Giulia, an thing that is customary to attract many visitors, both comics lovers and people past a passion for records and archaeology, in cheap B&B in Rome. The plates, indeed, will be displayed adjacent to the archaeological finds of the museum, giving birth to something new and fascinating, and helping visitors to learn something more not quite Etruscan chronicles and culture. The reproductions of the plates will be displayed after that in the additional Auteur residences that hosted the six comic-strip writers (the museums of Cerveteri and Tarquinia), enriching with these museum paths.
The report of the exhibition is in addition to worth mentioning, as it has been realised by one of the greatest and most famous Italian comic-strip writers: Milo Manara. The bank account takes inspiration from the Sarcophagus of the Spouses of Villa Giulia Museum, and the portrayed characters seem to invite visitors inside an Etruscan house; the exhibition, indeed, as Milo Manara himself has prickly out, is designed to gate a window on history. sticker album now 2 stars hotels in Rome and acquire ready to travel support in time!
