Councillor Giorgio Rossi declared: “The exhibition is significantly set up in the North Wing of the Museo del Mare, finally realized as the first part of a more ambitious project that aims to always be moved by ideas and initiatives, similar to the waves of the sea. On behalf of the Municipal Administration I thank the organizers, who are points of reference for Trieste and are committed daily to scientific dissemination and the concrete protection of our environment. The exhibition is also ideally connected to the Diego De Henriquez War Museum for Peace, as De Henriquez himself was at the origin of the idea for the Trieste bathyscaphe operation, which descended into the Mariana Trench. A mix of suggestions linked to the sea are part of the profound identity of Trieste”.

Five young artists (Stefania Delponte, Paola Formica, Chiara Giorgiutti, Maria Luisa Petrarca, Paolo Primon) use the language of illustrations to tell some of the most mysterious aspects of the sea gradually: from the Gulf floor we expand to the Mediterranean, to then continue to the ocean ridges, the deep waters of the Antarctic and the Mariana Deep. A path of 20 tables, in dialogue with the words of science as well as with the photographs and videos taken during the ocean expeditions of the Schmidt Ocean Institute on some of the most remote seabeds on the planet.

The installation in the Marzari library of the Museo del Mare puts the works in relation to the permanently exhibited goods, which tell the story of man's relationship with the sea, such as the ROV Pluto UX, from 1980, progenitor of the homonymous family of robots for the exploration of the sea depths, donated to the Museum by the creator Eng. Guido Gay and Mrs. Gabriella Covacci.
