The Memorability of Objects. Lampedusa, October the 3rd 2013. Ten years later  is a project by Carta di Roma and Zona and sponsored by the municipalities of Leggiuno and Musa. It is supported by a social enterprise committed to promoting cultural heritage: Archeologistics. The exhibition features objects that belonged to migrants who died in the shipwreck on October 3 2013, photographs by Karim El Maktafi, and videos by Valerio Cataldi, a RAI journalist, who is a foreign correspondent of sub-Saharan Africa.

“Hosting this exhibition at the Eremo,” says Elena Castiglioni, the Eremo di Santa Caterina del Sasso’ current manager, “means connecting stories of ancient shipwrecks, which we can assess, and contemporary shipwrecks, which we cannot ignore. For the visitors involved in this exhibition the lake water is above all synonymous with well-being and entertainment , but that same water can become an insurmountable limit for others.”
