00:28 The FAI, the Italian Environment Fund, and the Richard G. Nori Archival Museum Foundation of the Docha Manufactory

00:35 present the extraordinary exhibition of the centerpiece for the Minister of Foreign Affairs,

00:40 made by Joe Ponti, exceptionally set up in Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan.

00:46 The centerpiece, designed by Joe Ponti with the collaboration of Tommaso Buzzi

00:51 and modeled by Italo Griselli for Richard G. Nori,

00:55 the historic Docha Manufactory between 1927 and 1929,

01:00 is a real sculptural creation centered on the allegorical figure of Italy,

01:06 based on a shell and surrounded by heraldic animals and other small porcelain elements,

01:13 in a composition of 41 original elements.

01:18 The object reinterprets a neoclassical object, the sumptuous centerpiece that imitated the spine of a Roman circus,

01:25 and is in Art Deco style.

01:27 The great triumphal table commissioned by the Tuscan company by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

01:33 and designed to decorate the tables of diplomatic offices on occasions of great representation,

01:38 is exhibited for the first time in a museum house,

01:41 in a space that recalls its original function of table set design,

01:47 in the lunchroom of Villa Necchi Campiglio.

01:51 The table set design by Joe Ponti at Villa Necchi Campiglio.

01:56 FAI presents this extraordinary piece to the public.

01:59 It is a centerpiece designed by Joe Ponti and Tommaso Buzzi for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1926

02:06 and made by Italo Griselli for the Docha Manufactory,

02:09 the G. Nori Museum, which is closed to the public today,

02:12 but this time FAI wants to promote and tell as an extraordinary Italian heritage museum.

02:17 A Christmas event, this centerpiece fills the lunchroom of Villa Necchi Campiglio with color and brilliance,

02:24 which is in turn a masterpiece designed by Piero Portalupi,

02:27 from the ceiling to the walls to the consoles by Tommaso Buzzi.

02:30 A Christmas event that I hope will be part of many,

02:33 also in the centenary of Joe Ponti, who since 1923 has been artistic director of the Docha Manufactory.

02:40 The opportunity to see Villa Necchi Campiglio decorated for Christmas as a real home,

02:45 because it is the first time that a museum piece takes place in a real home,

02:49 with all the Christmas atmosphere that we wanted to return to the public.

02:53 Cosmos, the veil of knowledge, is the new great exhibition set up at the sculptures of the Miramare Castle,

03:07 open to the public until June 16.

03:10 The exhibition space at the sculptures of the castle was reopened for the occasion after a long post-pandemic break,

03:18 with a spectacular and innovative set-up, which also includes highly technological tools

03:24 to tell the public of today the way in which scientific knowledge was born

03:29 and how it continues to be a benchmark and a target for many scholars.

03:35 We are in Trieste, in the sculptures of the Miramare Castle,

03:39 where an exhibition called Cosmos, the veil of knowledge, is set up.

03:45 The exhibition is born from the research we are carrying out on the activities of Ferdinando Massimiliano d'Osburgo

03:56 and among his most important initiatives was to sponsor the circumnavigation of the world aboard the frigate Novara.

04:06 From there, the entire scientific horizon of the 1800s, the era of measurements,

04:13 of science according to the criteria that we know today, of data collection,

04:19 and all this fascinating history of scientific expeditions that are organised in this century.

04:27 At the entrance of the exhibition we find his world map,

04:30 because on that world map are marked the rare items of scientific expeditions carried out until that time.

04:37 Scenography is important because it helps us to reconstruct places and to evoke them.

04:43 We did not want to do, and we could not do, any historical reconstruction,

04:47 so the scenography, which is really very beautiful,

04:51 helps us to evoke and also to immerse ourselves in these worlds that we do not know.

04:58 In this exhibition artificial intelligence participates,

05:02 because thanks to artificial intelligence a video has been created that tells the story of science.

05:09 At this point in our history, human creativity seems even bigger and more interesting

05:15 than that of artificial intelligence, but it had to appear in this journey of science,

05:22 in this journey to the future, because it is part of our present.
