Museo Campano di Capua participates in Indian exhibition

The international exhibition ‘One Mother Many Mother Tongues’ has concluded its stage at the Humayun’s Tomb Museum in New Delhi, India. The exhibition, which opened on June 23, explored the universal theme of motherhood by creating a dialogue between Eastern and Western cultures.

Promoted by the Italian Cultural Institute in New Delhi, the Italian Embassy, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the event featured significant contributions from several Italian institutions. The Museo Provinciale Campano di Capua and the Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia provided tuff statues of mothers with children and terracotta ex-voto offerings from the Fondo Patturelli sacred area. The Museo Stibbert contributed a ‘Madonna and Child’ attributed to Botticelli.

The exhibition aimed to highlight symbolic resonances between different figures, including the Italic deity Mater Matuta, the Indian deity Hariti, and the Christian Madonna. Following its time in New Delhi, the exhibition is scheduled to be relocated and reassembled in Bangalore.
