800th anniversary
of the University of Naples Federico II
Letter of foundation of the University of Naples, Federico II: 1224
In the year marking the 800th anniversary of the University of Naples Federico II, the Academy and its students have brought to life ReVIVO and hARmony — two projects dedicated to the figure of Frederick II and to this secular institution, one of the oldest universities in the world.Presented during the VISIONARI event, the projects offer a journey through history, culture, and innovation — a fusion of art and digital technology where the “Stupor Mundi” comes to life and interacts, responding to questions about his life and works.
He does so through the voice and likeness of actor Massimiliano Gallo, who generously and enthusiastically contributed to the initiative.
