The Dreamer

The exhibition “The Dreamer” is conceived as a sequence of staged environments and cinematic tableaux. It unfolds through a narrative structure in which familial histories, cultural inheritance and intellectual legacies are translated into spatial and theatrical scenes. The visitor moves through atmospheres shaped by contrasting registers: spaces of knowledge, evocations of equestrian and martial imagery, and moments of heightened emotional intensity. The exhibition culminates in the presentation of Giovanni Querini’s 1869 will, presented as a key symbolic gesture of transmission and generosity towards the public realm. The display is structured as an immersive environment in which history, memory and fiction intersect, prompting reflection on what is passed on to the future and how cultural responsibility is articulated through imagination.
