Beyond the text

This multimedia section enhances the exhibition with sounds, images, and voices that bring its themes to life. A podcast on Saint Catherine, sacred music performances, and a theatrical adaptation of Antonia Pulci’s Il figlioul prodigo (in the orginal version) offer an immersive experience where written texts are transformed into storytelling, music, and staged expression. These materials invite the visitor to listen, watch, and feel the continuity and reinvention of the sacred across the centuries (English subtitles available via YouTube).
