During the exhibition, a team of young volunteers from Oaxaca will take a training course to qualify them to guide local visitors, school groups and tourists, thus enabling everyone to appreciate one of the most important artistic productions of 14th-century Italy. The event is part of the “Year of Italy in Latin America”, an initiative sponsored by the Foreign Ministry in partnership with the Ministries of Culture and Tourism, Economic Development, the Italian Trade Agency (ICE), the Conference of Rectors of Italian Universities and with the contribution of many companies.
