"The design of this exhibition was born from the idea of \u200b\u200bwanting to remember the historical importance of Bari as a hub of intense activity of inter-cultural exchanges of the city with village del bacino del Mediterraneo. Sin dall’antichità la città è stata considerata la porta d’Oriente, centro nevralgico del potere bizantino in occidente, capoluogo prima del Thema di Langobardia in IX secolo e poi del Catapanato d’Italia; il Palazzo del Catapano aveva sede nell’area della basilica nicolaiana e la stessa Basilica del Santo di Myra attesta l’importanza marittima della città che trafugò le ossa del Santo in terra di Licia in Asia Minore, attuale Turchia. Il mare con le sue potenzialità di comunicazione ha reso “mobili” le radici di questa città, solidali le culture del Mediterraneo, condivisibile l’ambiente. Per questo si è pensato ad una tematica sull’acqua that did not reflect only on its big potential for communication, but also the beauty of its color and its transparency and its value as a primary source of life in the balance of our ecosystem. The Provincial Government Building on the Lungomare Nazario Sauro is now the symbol of the city. Built in 1932, for the need to have a wider seat of government, is building a model of the fascist regime of the expression of the strength and power expansion of the city. E 'seat of the Provincial Art Gallery Corrado Giaquinto. "
