The Dream of Scipio

A pioneering multimedia project, The Dream of Scipio, reimagines the 'View from Above' through a blend of classical literature and contemporary philosophy. Launched in 2018, it culminates in a virtual and physical re-enactment of the Wright Brothers' historic 1909 flight over Rome's ancient ruins, capturing the first aerial footage in film history. This collaboration between media artist Daniela de Paulis, Italian Military Aviation, and the Regional Park of the Appian Way offers a unique intersection of art, technology, and heritage, providing new perspectives on how aerial views shape cultural narratives.
