A scanning campaign conducted in the summer of 2023 has meticulously recreated the intricate details of both the Scrovegni Chapel and its typically inaccessible crypt.
Powered by cutting-edge Italian technology from Hidonix, this virtual escapade promises an unparalleled encounter with Giotto’s genius.
Informative panels will narrate the tale of how Giotto’s artistic prowess inspired the exceptional cycles of 14th-century frescoes, leading to the UNESCO recognition of Padua – Urbs picta.
Join us in this unparalleled celebration of art, history, and creativity as we unlock the treasures of Giotto’s legacy at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura Toronto.
Presented in collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy in Toronto, the Italian Cultural Institute in New York, the Musei Civici of the City of Padua, and the company Hidonix.
