The Silk Road and its intense programme of cultural, artistic and technological interactions is at the core of the exhibition \u201cThe Silk Road and Turkmenistan \u2013 A tribute by Italy\u201d, staged by the Italian Embassy in Ashgabat\u2019s principal museum with the sponsorship of the UNESCO.<\/p>\n
Throughout the month of October, 150 High-Definition photographic reproductions, accompanied by panels explaining the different sections, will illustrate the many cultural, artistic and technological inputs of the Silk Road on Italian and European culture. One of the sections is dedicated to the excavations that three archaeological missions from Turin, Bologna and Venice are performing in the Country and another section, curated by the local Chinese Embassy, focuses on the artistic inputs to China from the West.<\/p>\n
The exhibition itinerary was entirely designed and curated on site with the collaboration of Luigi Laudanna, and organised as part of the \u201cItalian Way of Life\u201d programme.<\/p>\n
The didactic function that the exhibition offers through the numerous stimuli on the rich theme of the Silk Road was highlighted by Italian Ambassador, Diego Ungaro, in his exhibition inaugural speech at the Museum of Fine Arts, in the presence of the Deputy Prime Minister for culture and mass media, Bahargul Abdyeva, the Minister of Culture, Atagely Shamuradov, the Chinese Ambassador,\u00a0Sun Weidong, and of a large number of the diplomatic corps and experts.

Deputy Prime Minister Abdyeva defined the initiative as one of this year\u2019s most important events dedicated to the role of Turkmenistan, which lies in the middle of the Silk Road.
