"Giorno: A Journey Through Art, Literature, and History" Giorno, a word that evokes images of both day and creation, holds significant meaning in various realms. Inspired by the works of Matilda Serao, an influential Italian journalist and novelist, Giorno encapsulates the essence of time and existence. In the Old Testament Cycle - Creation, we witness the birth of day and night. This divine act is beautifully portrayed in Byzantine mosaics from the 12th to 13th century. The intricate details depict the celestial dance between light and darkness. The concept extends beyond artistic representations. In Day (1821), a magnificent marble sculpture captures its essence with grace and elegance. Mezzo Giorno symbolizes the pinnacle of daylight when shadows intertwine with brilliance. Moving away from visual artistry, Giorno di Mercato takes us to Luino on Lago Maggiore through an enchanting engraving. The bustling market scene showcases life's vibrant tapestry as people engage in commerce amidst picturesque surroundings. La Nuova Regia Su L Acque transports us to another realm altogether – one where water reigns supreme. This architectural marvel invites contemplation as it harmoniously blends nature's elements into a serene oasis. Exploring further into ancient times reveals hidden treasures within Atrio della casa di Salustio Raccolta di varie or Giardino della casa di Diomede presso alle mura.
