An online school field trip between art and coding at the Marino Marini Museum: already over 9500 registrants

The Marino Marini Museum is organizing a live online school field trip between art and coding, and with one week to go, there are already more than 9500 participants from 260 Italian cities.

The initiative, Codytrip, will be held on April 15 and is intended to be more than a school field trip: an engaging adventure, a learning experience for children, schools and families designed to learn about places, traditions, people and knowledge. It intends to be an example of how one can use digital technologies, coding and imagination in an original way and at the same time actively participate, interacting live with fellow travelers and with Professor Alessandro Bogliolo, who will lead the activities and the field trip.

Codytrip is organized by the Marino Marini Museum and DIGIT srl, a spin-off of the University of Urbino, and is dedicated to discovering the museum that houses the collection of one of the greatest contemporary Italian sculptors, Marino Marini, but also to discovering one of the architectural masterpieces of the Renaissance, Leon Battista Alberti’s Rucellai Chapel.

“That of April 15 will be a day under the banner of curiosity, involvement, sharing, and knowledge of art through tools of innovative technologies,” declares Patrizia Asproni, president of the Marino Marini Museum, “to let children and families discover, through new ways of fruition, the masterpieces of Marino Marini, but also the architectural spaces of the museum together with the charm of the golden proportion of the Sacello del Santo Sepolcro of the Rucellai Chapel. A multidisciplinary initiative in line with the activities always promoted by the museum in close relationship with the world of school, university and research and addressed to the community with a participatory and inclusive approach.”

It will be a multisensory experience involving personalities such as Mario Nanni, master of light and Visiting Director of the Marini Museum in Florence; Sileno Cheloni, internationally renowned master perfumer; Gaia Nanni, theater actress, performer and storyteller; Teresa Porcella, educator, author, editor and translator for several Italian and foreign publishers; Chiara Lachi, of the Immaginario Association; and Gloria Fossi, medieval and modern art historian.

A significant part of the day will be dedicated to coding, playing with geometry, mathematics and cryptography.

"CodyTrip aims to offer children, teachers and families a unique and engaging experience that combines culture, creativity, fun and discovery," adds Alessandro Bogliolo, professor of Information Processing Systems at the University of Urbino. “We will do everything we can to make digital technologies transparent: we will use the web to bridge distances, but as soon as the live broadcast begins, from Santa Maria Novella Station, we will forget we are online and simply be on a field trip, together.”

In keeping with its nature as an inclusive and accessible museum, the Marino Marini Museum, thanks to the contribution of Fondazione CR Firenze, has made the project free of charge; the initiative is aimed at schools, but also at all those who wish to have a unique cultural tourism experience. It has the patronage of the University of Urbino, Save the Children, Fondazione Mondo Digitale, Grey Panthers and the collaboration of Giunti Scuola.
