13.01.2025
The exhibition "Il mondo in mano" opens on the afternoon of Tuesday, January 14 (5 p.m), at the Geography Museum of the University of Padua (Palazzo Wollemborg via del Santo 26 – Padova) showcasing a collection of travel guides published from the 17th century to the present day.
Travel guides are also one of the oldest and most popular genres in Western culture, with roots going back to ancient Greece.
During the inauguration, the book bearing the same title as the exhibition will also be presented, in the presence of the authors Gian Paolo Chiari and Sara Dotto. The book, published by Cierre Editore as part of the Mappamondi series curated by the Geography Museum, will be introduced.
Participation is free, with reservation.
The exhibition can be visited every Tuesday and Sunday afternoon in conjunction with the visit to the Geography Museum, until March 11.
