Exhibitions: from Majella to Prague, looking for 'last snow'

(ANSA) - PRAGUE - From the heights of the Mount Majella, in the heart of central Italy's Apennine mountains, to Prague: the Czech capital city houses ''Desert - The Last Remaining Snow'', an exhibition featuring Francesca Consigli and William Santoleri, which will be hosted, starting today, by the headquarters of the Italian Cultural Institute. The project - which stems from a journey of a thousand steps through a stone desert, at 2,500 metres above sea level, looking for the last remaining snow patches on the Majella - includes maps, black and white photographs, clippings, travel notes, samples, installations and paintings made by the two authors. Inspired by a poem written by Rainer Maria Rilke ('Spaziergang', 1924), the two artists decided to show their new project in Prague, with the intention of completing the work with another walking trip in the Giant Mountains - the highest and most famous mountains in the Czech Republic -, in order to build a strong relationship between the Majella and the Krkonoe.
