THURSDAYS AT THE MUSEUM - The Flight of Simorgh

THURSDAY AT THE MUSEUM
The Flight of Simorgh – A Story of Migration and Dreams

An authentic story spanning nearly twenty years of life in Persia, amid adventures, traditions, affections, encounters, wars and moments of profound pain. An extraordinary experience lived by Aldo Giacomelli, a bold man from Valtellina who intertwined his destiny with that of a land rich in history and culture.

Like the Simorgh, the legendary bird and symbol of Persia, Aldo dreams of taking flight once again toward his second homeland. But the bridge linking past and present is, for the moment, temporarily interrupted.

An intense and compelling biography that tells not only the story of an extraordinary life, but also the deep bond between two worlds, two cultures and two peoples.

The protagonists of the book will take part Aldo Giacomelli and Sciahnaz Almasi

In conversation with the authors, curated by Roberta Cervi.

At the end of the event, a tasting of authentic Persian tea will be offered, an opportunity to share the flavors, aromas and atmosphere of Iranian tradition in a convivial moment with the guests.
