Full Story:
The exhibition “Mediterranea. Visioni di un mare antico e complesso” was inaugurated by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco at the Galerie des Pechêurs in Monaco. Organized by the Dante Alighieri of Monaco with the High Patronage of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Hanover, in collaboration with the secretariats of the International Agreements Ramoge, Accobams, and Pelagos, the exhibition explores the history and beauty of the Mediterranean region.
The exhibition features images obtained from advanced space technology provided by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), Telespazio/e-Geos of the Leonardo Group, and the European Space Agency (ESA). These images are combined with ancient maps to create a synthesis of culture and science, showcasing the complexity of the Mediterranean Sea and its vulnerabilities.
The exhibition also highlights the Mediterranean’s cities, ports, cultural exchanges, and agricultural symbolism. It addresses the erosion of coastlines, the role of islands as tourist destinations and places of exile, and their significance as migration hotspots. The exhibition emphasizes the impact of climate change on the Mediterranean, showcasing the reduction of precipitation, heatwaves, and alterations in marine habitats. It also showcases international agreements such as Ramoge, Accobams, and Pelagos, which contribute to the conservation of marine mammals in the region.
The exhibition aims to highlight the importance of the Mediterranean for our future and the need for shared solutions to address its challenges. It is open to the public from February 7 to March 30. A conference on March 6 will further discuss the exhibition and present the international treaties for the protection of the Mediterranean.
