PANTHEON AT SUNRISE

Rome like you’ve never lived it.

We have always believed in the charm of a deserted place, in the music at dawn and in the cool breeze that only the morning can make us feel on the skin.

We always believed in it, but we never really tried it.

Our dawn at Pantheon

It was an ordinary November day, when we decided to live an experience out of the ordinary: a few days before a friend told us that the most beautiful memory he has in his mind of the city of Florence, was having seen the Cathedral at dawn. He told us that the faint but exalting beams of light that struck the facade, made the color of the stone unique and never seen before.

We were in Rome in those days and decided to carve out a morning to try to understand what it meant to visit a place at dawn, when no tourist prevents the view of the pillars and when no noise crowds the ears. Of course, waking up wasn’t that easy. In November, nobody gets up at dawn unless they have to. And yet, we thought we had to try this experience, and we got up.

As we walked to get to the Pantheon, several thoughts arose: in the streets the city gave way to the sound of birds, the air was fresh and at the same time dense, like Rome, light, pleasant in appearance, but dotted with a story whose roots dig deep into the earth.

We turn the corner and there he is. The feeling of being in front of an uncontrollable, indisputable, and disorienting greatness makes space between our emotions. It’s different, the Pantheon at dawn is different. The square is deserted, the only thing you see moving are the clouds above it. The dawn is a moment of deep reflection, something is about to begin, but we are not yet ready to welcome it. This is how the Pantheon appeared to us, a place that at dawn still wants to be "five minutes under the covers". We thought that an event, like the sunrise at the Pantheon, should respect the rhythms of nature, so we imagined a soft music, some flowers and a small breakfast.

Look differently, remember longer

"You never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”

Living different experiences means leaving room for creativity and inventiveness. Through an event like the Sunrise at the Pantheon, each person will have the opportunity to explore their own space, bringing with them curiosity and desire to discover. The music of the cello will accompany people on this journey from darkness to light, making them live a different dimension, sustainable and memorable.

What cannot be spoken of, must be kept silent

We believe in sharing what we really know and explore deeply.

For this reason, every experience that Materica offers is first of all something we have experienced and, as in a draft that becomes a painting, we have proposed with our vision to you, so that you enjoy it with heart and soul.
