Giotto: the roots of modern painting.
The trust in men, the satisfaction of being the active main characters of their own time, the conscious commitment to occupy a "Place" in the world not only in a moral way, but also in a physical and material way: at the beginning of 300' Giotto's painting offers us a sense of the world's change, opening to new horizons.
