MAIN ACTIONS

“Saper individuare la bellezza del mondo, saperla leggere e interpretare non serve solo a diventare più intelligenti, serve a goderne meglio e di più.

Perché non ci sono solo bellezze evidenti, ma anche bellezze difficili, difficili come certi quadri, che diventano incantevoli solo quando li si è studiati un pò” [G. Cenacchi, La valle più brutta delle Dolomiti, marzo 1996]
