“I would like this upcoming journey together to speak of just one thing: our endless fascination with the sky. This is how it always has been, and always will be, the unfathomable mystery that hangs over our heads. And all of us, from artists to scientists to common people, have at least once in our lives perceived its mystery. This is what I would like to resonate on these pages: the infinite beauty of the cosmos, the colossal force that inspires us to try to understand it, and the great mystery that will forever cloak the cold and wonderful darkness where the story of the stars takes place.”

Starting from Adorazione dei Magi painted by Giotto in the Scrovegni Chapel and arriving at the now pop image of a black hole taken during the EHT project, Licia Troisi takes us on an exciting journey through the secrets of the Universe starting from 14 most relevant pictures.
