Abstraction is an instrument, an organ,
that allows to see the concrete clearly.
About us
Holistic culture is a fresh concept, resulting from the need to orient ourselves in the modern world in order to understand it in the context of the whole. This approach is focused on the future, but draws from the past. Culture has its internal, spiritual and mental understanding (cultura animi) as well as its productive dimension related to material culture (ars est recta ratio factibilium).
It also includes scientific knowledge and technical activities. Culture understood in this way in its horizon includes everything that man has created through the effort of his will, reason and work. Both in the intellectual and artistic sense, as well as in the technical sense, i.e. what he constructed, he invented. We want to debate, popularize and produce works of culture, acting interdisciplinary to present selected, noteworthy issues from the broad horizon of culture.
