Panathlon International Cultural Foundation – Domenico Chiesa
The exhibition at the Olympic Museum was inaugurated on March 20, 2019
The anthological exhibition of the International Graphic Art Competitions was held with a simple opening ceremony in the Espace d’Art of the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. Before the International Board Members, the representatives of the Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage and representatives of Panathlon Club Lausanne, International President, Pierre Zappelli expressed his personal satisfaction and gratitude towards the institutions of the International Olympic Committee to be welcomed in one of the most prestigious sports museums in the world - visited especially by youngsters.
Then the Secretary of the Foundation Mr. Maurizio Monego stepped in to illustrate the meaning and the value of the Graphic Competition carried out by the Domenico Chiesa Foundation as well as to introduce to those present the overview of the divided 5 subject matters illustrated in the drawings.
Sports is……….Its values, NO to all forms of violence (from racism to doping and antagonism) an invitation to consider Fair Play and sports for all.
The aforementioned issues have been collected and developed in a guide made available to visitors, who until March 29, 2019 will deal to think about thoughts for sports culture based on respect and on the educational and social perspective of the ideals of Olympism.
The Anthological Exhibition of the Foundation arrives at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne
Great expectations for the exhibition that will be inaugurated on March 20th at the Olympic Museum of Lausanne
In a good atmosphere of effective collaboration with the “Olympic Foundation for Culture and Patrimony”, the 34 works selected for the exhibition will reach Lausanne in the coming days
The project of the review has followed a pattern to illustrate five chapters: The Essence of sport, its values, the NO to its disvalues represented by Racism, Doping, Antagonism and the Sport for all.
A guide to the exhibition that will accompany the visitors has been published and, in the preamble, the nature of the Panathletic Movement and Chiesa Foundation and the meaning of the International Contest of Graphic Arts, which is living this year its XVII edition. The works that will be exhibited respect a criterion of universality, assuring the presence of all countries of the authors represented in these years. Italy will be, naturally, more represented given the high number of works produced, but this must be an encouragement for all Districts to promote participation of schools and students that the clubs will want to involve. There will be no shortage of works from Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Kenya, Peru, Switzerland, Uruguay.
