Project

Talking Teens - Statues Speak!

Students. Communities. Institutions. Together to care for the city's heritage!
Curated by Paola Greci.

An innovative social-welfare project in line with the WHO principle.

A project to enhance the city's statues.

Talking statues lead us inside the memory of the city and inside Italian history.

Talking Teens: the teenagers who talk, or rather make the statues talk.

The community and institutions are involved in its implementation.

Accessible to people with disabilities.
