TheCentral Institute for the Pathology of Archives and Books organizes an extraordinary opening on October 9, 2022 on occasion of the Charter Sunday.
It will be possible to visit the kite exhibition of Anna Onesti, created together with other artists: Francesco Casorati, Bruno Ceccobelli, Adele Cammarata, Virginia Lorenzetti.
Kites are little miracles of technical perfection. Built with essential elements, painted or printed paper, bamboo sticks and cotton threads, they combine constructive wisdom and artistic beauty with the substance of play and the sense of spontaneous momentum. The construction of these flying shapes, made together with Fabrizio DiPietro, is often based on traditional Japanese types such as: the square kite (hamamatsu), the diamond-shaped kite (shear), the rectangular kite (edo), the hexagonal kite (rokkaku). The glaze is made with handcrafted Japanese paper or with Korean paper or paper from the Far East, from the regions of Nepal or India.
Also on display are some photos of kite flying, flights coordinated by Claudio del Greco and Ettore Carta of the Roman kite group Greko Kite, the photographs are by Fabio Massimo Fioravanti.
Complete the program for the day there guided tour inside the historic garden of the Institute, former site of the Botanical Garden of Rome.
