The exhibition, conceived in two sequential areas, introduces artistic and theological contents within an immersive and theatrical installation, while taking an in-depth look at the techniques and the historical period through a short film entirely shot in the Scrovegni Chapel.

The declination of contents is experienced through a dramatic and musical narration, inserting itself in the tradition of the best Italian film, and the experimentation of new technologies and enlarging - assembling techniques. Visitors are thus immersed in an absolutely unique experience, accompanied by the original music by jazz artist Paolo Fresu and, for the Italian version, the voice of actor Luca Zingaretti. The exhibition will also be accessible in Croatian and English.

The Scrovegni Chapel is one of the greatest masterpieces of Western art. The story begins on 6 February 1300, when Enrico Scrovegni – an affluent Paduan banker – purchases the area of the ancient Roman Arena. A sumptuous palace is built on the site, with an adjoining chapel to serve as a private oratory and sepulchral monument. Enrico commissions Giotto, then thirty-five, to decorate this monument. He has to follow an extremely complex iconographic and theological programme, which reveals the presence, alongside the Master, of a theologian of doctrinal sophistication. In the atmosphere of the first Jubilee in history (proclaimed by Boniface VIII in February 1300) the Arena Chapel enacts God’s Reconciliation to mankind and points to the path that we are called to choose for being saved.
