A Unique Itinerary Among the Wonders of Craftsmanship
During Homo Faber, visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a unique itinerary divided into several thematic sections. Each section will be curated by internationally renowned experts, who will guide the public through an immersive experience among works of art, live demonstrations and meetings with the artisans themselves.
