The research named “Autour de la Méditerranée” was recently the subject of a great expoxition in Tanger, at the Palais des Institutions Italiennes. It’s a big-sketched story of travels around our sea. It talks about the big quantity of monuments that we can find along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the wonderfull ruins, the mystical power of its holy buildings. The domes and the towers, the signs and the colors, tell us different sides of the same common origin, where the best architecture comes from the exchange: from Egyptians in Rome, from Romans in Tunisia, from Arabs in Spain and from Christians in Egypt. A travel into a common colture, remembering the sense of the Mediterranean basin as our “cradle of civilization”.
