Myths of Venice: Rediscovery of the Italian city of Venice (50 min)
A virtual tour of the city conducted by Caterina Brazzi Castracane, historian, author and tour guide

The floating city of Venice, one of the most extraordinary cities in the world was constructed on a swampy area, made up of over a hundred small islands and marshlands in between. A miracle of creative genius, a city built on mud, sand and the slime of a difficult, inhospitable landscape; and yet few cities can claim such a priceless heritage of art and history as Venice. The tour will travel through the city’s history and focus on some of the unique construction methods adopted there.

Ink Paintings: Insights into the Heart of Zen | (28 min; 2020; English and with subtitles)

Originating in China, ink painting was once part of a Zen monk’s ascetic training. It reveals the beauty of space in a simple, refined state and captivates the viewer, while conveying Zen tenets. The art form took hold and matured in Kyoto in the 15th century with masters, such as Josetsu and Sesshu, and Jakuchu in modern times, wielding great influence on the genre.

India Tibet Relations (1947-1962) in 4 volumes by Claude Arpi 

ABOUT THE BOOKS :

During this fifteen-year period, the world witnessed earth-shaking changes: India became independent; China did its own revolution, resulting in the arrival of a new, more brutal, regime. While most African and Asian countries were decolonized, Tibet, an independent nation, lost its freedom and as a consequence, India’s serene northern frontier vanished. These volumes recount the events whose consequences still reverberate in the Himalaya today.
