Dino Ticli

The origins of art

There are gifts that come from afar, discoveries that date back to 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals were the first artists in history and the first to build a musical instrument. In this workshop among history, art and music we will retrace and recreate the steps that led to the birth of aesthetic sense and musicality.
