With its 10,000 square meters and 40,000 artifacts, the Egyptian Museum of Turin is the second most important in the world after Cairo. Director Christian Greco - an Egyptologist, scholar, and lecturer trained in the Netherlands - tells us about the museum as a work in progress in which antiquities speak to the present and the future, and where written narrative remains of central importance: a narrative made of hieroglyphs which, after millennia, have spoken to us again 200 years ago.

There are places where every morning is summer and we stay young forever. Fumone, the Olympus of Ciociaria, is my Ithaca.
