The exhibition of Matrakçı Nasuh, “Sixteenth Century Genius,” inaugurated in Rome as part of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the foundation of this institution.
The long-expected exhibition of “Matrakçı Nasuh” finally came to Rome after the stakes in Sarajevo, Belgrade, the G20 of Antalya, Istanbul, Vienna, Tokyo, and Paris. Matrakçı Nasuh – strategist, mathematician, historian, miniaturist, geographer, and cartographer – is an active genius at the Ottoman court, particularly under the sultans Selim I and Solimano the Magnificent.
The Matrakçı Nasuh (1480-1564) exhibition, accompanied by the documentary “Matrakçi Stella Ottomana,” was realized for this project with the support of the General Directorate of Cinema of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey, directed by Ali Sina Gürsu and produced from Art & Life Production, and will help the Italian public to know about one of the most important minds of this generation.
