Documentary on Wunderkammer premieres on Sky Arte

A documentary titled "Wunderkammer – Le stanze della meraviglia" directed by Francesco Invernizzi will air on Sky Arte on Thursday, September 3 at 11:45 PM. The film explores secret rooms worldwide that have housed curiosity collections for centuries, tracing the history of Wunderkammer (Cabinets of Curiosities) from 16th-century Europe to modern private collections. It features commentary from cultural professionals including Annalisa Zanni (director of Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan), Jean-Hubert Martin (honorary director of Centre Pompidou, Paris), and Andrea Lissoni (Senior Curator at Tate Modern, London). The documentary highlights how these collections, often inaccessible to the public, evolved from Renaissance studioli and imperial palaces into modern museums during the Enlightenment, while contemporary examples remain in villas and castles.
