Heritage Archaelogical Programme
A mobile art gallery on the road called "The Corinthian Helmets".

It is an art exhibition which reveals the beauty of the most representative icons of the ancient civilization of Magna Graecia. "The inspiration of this art exhibition comes from the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea - says Joseph Caristena - surrounded by coasts connecting lands, peoples and ideas for centuries."

The classic Greek Corinthian style helmet is the single most aesthetically pleasing piece ever created. Beaten and hammered from a single sheet of bronze by master craftsmen, these helmets today are appreciated as one of the most beautiful pieces of Ancient Greece. The Corinthian helmet conveys a sense of hostility toward the enemy dehumanizing the soldier who wears it.
