1. K. If all of the world´s cultural heritage (sports, music, fashion,
architecture, literature, painting, etc..) was contained in a time capsule,
what would you include to demonstrate the legacy of your country?
2. Fashion heritage
Red Valentino
“I love it because: makes a woman feel
very much like a goddess. That
particular shade of red and the pursuit
of detail are two features that I think
each of us should try in life.”
Valentino
3. Painting heritage
Mona Lisa's smile, a smile that
everyone has seen hundreds of
times: books, museum, cinema,
newspapers. Like no other, the
painting of Leonardo has been
studied, imitated, parodied,
used by the world of art,
advertising, entertainment.
4. Food and wine heritage
Italy, a country of good food
and fine wine: more than
ten thousand kinds of
recipes and two hundred
varieties of wine.
5. Architecture heritage
"From the desk on which I write I
see three-quarters of Rome, and in
front of me on the other side of the
city, rises the majestic dome of St.
Peter. The evening, when the sun
sets, I see through the windows of
St. Peter and half an hour after this
admirable dome stands out on this
color so pure a twilight orange
topped by a star in the sky that
begins to appear. Nothing in the
world can be compared to this
show. Soul rises careful, a serene
happiness penetrates all. But it
seems to me to be worthy of these
feelings, you need to love and
know Rome a long time. A young
man who has never known the
misery does not understand. “
Stendhal.
6. Literature heritage
The Divine Comedy is a masterpiece of
Italian literature, the work of our
immortal poet. The sense of Dante's
journey can be traced in the Underworld
discussed Epistle to “Cangrande della
Scala”, Dante explains that he wanted to
show people that the only way to rise
from their sins and gain the truth and
salvation is to rely on the use of reason.
His, then, is a kind of mission which aims
to raise the whole of humanity from its
state of misery.
7. Sport heritage
Great player, great man. AS
Roma captain Francesco Totti
embodies the spirit of fearless
of the eternal city. Thirty-six
years, eighteen leagues Serie A
and three hundred goals.
Without doubt the greatest
Italian footballer of all time.
