On Friday 18 June, at 5 p.m., in the former church of Sant’Agata, next to the National Archaeological Museum of Spoleto and the Roman Theatre, the book by Rossano De Cesaris “Trucco e bellezza nell’antichità” (published by Sillabe) will be presented.
A journey through the Egyptians, Cretans, Mycenaeans, Etruscans, Romans and Byzantines in the company of the famous make-up artist to discover the secrets of beauty. A detailed analysis of the distinctive and characteristic traits of each civilisation, trying to trace, where possible, parallels with the current era and an identity that links us to the ancients. This will be followed by a free guided tour of some of the fashion and beauty exhibits in the museum’s collections and storage areas.
Free admission. Reservations are recommended by calling 0743 223277 or sending an email to drm-umb.muspoleto@beniculturali.it.
This is the first of the events organised by director Silvia Casciarri on the occasion of the European Archaeology Days (18-19-20 June 2021).
