The creation of an Exhibition on the subject of relations and interconnections among the peoples of an area with such great cultural heritage as the Eastern Mediterranean, even if it is limited only to a part of antiquity, resembles a long voyage. From the conception of the idea and its planning until the end of the voyage the difficulties are great and the work arduous. The itinerary and its results, i.e. the provision of knowledge in a manner easily understood by the public and scholarly at the same time, constitute the fascination of the journey. Indeed, this is what makes you wish to continue the creation process because in a final analysis, the way you create is to a great extent the way you choose to live.
