Bologna
Voltecupolesoffitti is a cultural association dedicated to introducing frescoes on vaults, domes, and ceilings to a wider audience, bringing closer what has been before our eyes for centuries. Thanks to photography and the versatility of new technologies, this initiative has become an evocative virtual museum full of images, information, and curiosities about this important yet little-known aspect of art.
Sometimes, all it takes is looking at things from a different perspective to discover unexpected and surprising details. We're so accustomed to seeing the world around us that we often fail to notice what lies beneath our feet, and even more so, above our heads. Often, the beauty and richness of the works available to visitors is so great that it distracts attention from the architectural details, which, on the contrary, reveal unexpected wonders to a more attentive gaze: vaults, domes, and ceilings. The project, born from an idea by Giuseppe Porisini in 2006, allows you to discover and re-evaluate artistic jewels in an innovative and original way.
