The installation proposed in the Civic Museum of Modena makes us discover, through suggestions, words, lights and scents - the latter reproduced thanks to the botanical remains found - an ancient funeral ritual. This is a tomb from Mutina (1st century A.D.) discovered in 2004 and 2005: the burial of a little girl, surrounded by the objects the family chose to offer her for her last journey.

The project deals with the theme of the relationship between soul and body, between death and life, closely connected in the classical world through rituals related to the care of souls.
