Have a good night

17.12.2025

The installation Have a Good Night has opened at the Museum of Geography, offering an immersive experience in which light does not illuminate, but remembers. Have a Good Nightinvites visitors to linger in a bedroom lit by more than 50 illuminated globes, all different, bearing witness to childhood dreams either already lived or still waiting to be realized.

The installation centers on the archetypal symbol of the globe in its luminous form—a domestic and educational object that has filled the bedrooms of generations of children. Both world sphere and night lamp, the globe holds knowledge and the unknown, curiosity about distant places and the need for protection: it invites discovery and, at the same time, contemplation.

Silent presences of dreamlike journeys, the globes are also companions to countless waking adventures. Their light, reflected by whole and fragmented mirrors, becomes within the installation a quiet presence that tells intimate and personal geographies, shaped by desires, worries, curiosities, and expectations.

The installation, created by Giovanni Donadelli, curator of the Museum of Geography and collector of illuminated globes, will be included in the museum’s visitor route and will be accessible on Tuesday, December 23, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., and every Sunday afternoon from December 21 to January 11, 2026.
