An experience that involves those present through an unprecedented exploration of volcanic phenomena.
The project originates from the series of works by Alessandro Piangiamore which see images of volcanic eruptions with fragments of madrepores and corals live in "symbiosis", which seem to be the natural continuation of the eruption itself.
The collaboration with Dr. Giuseppe Salerno and Dr. Letizia Spampinato, volcanologists at the Etneo Observatory of the NGV and Walter Musco, pastry chef, owner of the Pasticceria Bompiani in Rome, has led Alessandro Piangiamore to develop an experience that will involve participants to experience the volcanic phenomena of earth and water from a gustatory and olfactory point of view.
