It is possible to enter one room at a time, in succession, as in a secular procession: a woman finds the strength to leave a message of love despite her illness , we meet a family made up of two homosexual mothers and a newborn, a woman who is moved by observing the signs of aging on her face, another listens to the voice of her now dead companion, with whom she shared 23 years of her life. In the last room, the singing of a soprano accompanies a Pietas with a disabled boy and a young woman who indulge in effusions and kisses. They said of "Ecce (H) omo, Warriors: "One of the most beautiful and important works I have seen in my entire life" (Giorgia Tribuiani, writer) - "An example of struggle and love" (Elena Balestri, Funweek) - "An action so powerful that it can be defined as the photograph of an existential manifesto" (Andrea Murnik, NisemTu researcher) - "The work instills the desire for an Arcadian return to nature" (Roberto Bracaglia, critical scene) To view the work, given the Covid emergency, places will be limited to one person at a time and the public must be equipped with a mask.
