Genius Loci: The spirit of Places

«Genius Loci: the spirit of the places is the first contemporary art exhibition designed to raise public awareness on topics such as the culture of places, respect for the environment and the landscape as everyone's heritage, topics often connected to archetypal feelings that we should rediscover and reconsider in today's life […] Everywhere, each part that composes it, every animate and inanimate being has a soul, a protective genius, a specific character. It is a place without genius, de facto, a space, not a place. We don't want to be animistic in saying this, and not even theologically incorrect, but archaeologists who unearth something that exists, and that has always existed, in the tradition of different cultures. We are convinced that the Genius Loci exists, in different forms and with varying intensities, and that this magic exists in everything we live, it is up to us to grasp its presence, search for its origin, to be able to appreciate in a different way, and perhaps more complete, identity, the history and beauty of each place, in every moment of our passage on this Earth ". Taken from the text Genius Loci: the exhibition by Jessica Anaïs Savoia.
