The selection maintains a balanced representation of different geographical areas, ensuring that all regions of the world and all historical or prehistoric periods are accounted for. Through this comprehensive panorama, the viewer is invited on a cultural and anthropological journey through time and space.<\/p>\n<p>The showcased artworks are \u201cminiatures\u201d; few exceed a size of 20 centimeters. Indeed, an artwork doesn\u2019t need to be monumental to evoke profound emotional impact and fascination! Fragility can endure, the minuscule can embody grandeur, and singular detail can convey a universal message. This selection of 99 works, forming a unique ensemble worldwide, follows three criteria \u2013 authenticity, aesthetic quality, and balance \u2013 among the represented subjects and across different forms, materials, or functions. The period covered runs from the eighth millennium BC to the early 20<sup>th\u00a0<\/sup>century.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting this collection to the public holds a dual significance: in a world threatened by uniformity, it celebrates the richness and diversity of human cultures while also highlighting the beauty and grandeur of small-scale formats and the need to protect what is fragile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luigi Spina<\/strong>, a photographer, has published several volumes with 5 Continents Editions, including The <em>Buchner Boxes<\/em> (2014), <em>Hemba<\/em> (2017), and <em>Mythical Diary<\/em> (2017), dedicated to the Farnese Collection. With the same publisher, he created the series \u201cHidden Treasures\u201d: <em>The Farnese Cup<\/em>, <em>The Alexander Mosaic<\/em>, <em>San Domenico by Niccol\u00f2 dell\u2019Arca<\/em>, <em>The Riace Bronzes<\/em> (2022), the project <em>Canova Four Tempos<\/em> (2020\u20132024) and the large-scale photographic project <em>Inside Pompeii<\/em> (2023).<\/p>\n<p>Under the aegis of the Fondation pour l\u2019Enfance, the <strong>Donnadieu Foundation<\/strong> was established in 2023 by Ludovic Donnadieu, art collector, chartered accountant and founder of the firm Donnadieu &amp; Associates, which specializes in securing securing funds entrusted to NGOs.
