On 9 December, from 16.00 to 18.30, on Slash Radio Web the broadcast of the program will be broadcast 'Art Conversations'; fifth and final date of Imagine. A heritage to read and tell, cycle of broadcasts to connect cultural heritage with the writings of ancient and modern authors.

Nineteenth and twentieth centuries, history and its narrative

The broadcast will start with a passage on a period of Italian history between 1848 and 1878; known through documents, testimonies and artistic production of a particular movement such as that of 'Risorgimento painting' in which the so-called 'soldier-painters'. From the ranks of Romanticism, Verismo, the Macchiaioli movement, these bore witness to the events of those years through an exact and faithful painting, never rhetorical, attentive to the many human implications linked to war.

It will be presented later Spaces900, museum dedicated to contemporary Italian literature; inaugurated in 2015 inside the National Central Library of Rome at the end of a long activity of acquisition and enhancement of the Institute's twentieth-century literary heritage. Through innovative multimedia installations and a coherent narrative path, objects, paintings and furnishings that belonged to poets and writers who have marked the century with their writing find their place alongside books and papers.

During the broadcast, in addition to the commitment in favor of accessibility of the Special Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Rome, we will also learn about the work carried out for the creation of podcasts that tell the portraits of three archaeologists - Rodolfo Lanciani, Salvatore Aurigemma and Gianfilippo Carettoni - and, again, the story of Michelangelo's Moses and the Tomb of Julius II in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. A narrative mode that helps bring new audiences closer to heritage and which, in its mode exclusively entrusted to the story, is also accessible to blind people.

Finally, "Recycling in art: Michelangelo Pistoletto and Roberto Papini at the Omero Museum" will be the theme of the 'SlashArt pill' curated by the Homer State Tactile Museum.
