Discover the multicultural kingdom the Normans built on Sicily, where Arab and Norman traditions met in art and architecture that still fascinates visitors today. The lecture is led by Francesca La Fiora, who guides you through palaces, mosaics and cathedrals such as the Palazzo dei Normanni and the cathedrals in Monreale and Cefalù.
The talk focuses on the distinctive features of the Arab-Norman style and on the values behind it: interreligious dialogue and cultural integration, themes that remain highly relevant in a modern Mediterranean context. The lecture is delivered in clear Italian, suited to listeners at B1 level or above, and Francesca will translate into Danish if needed. A glass of wine is served during the break.
