13 - RIFLESSIONI DEL SILENZIO – Reflections of Silence (Lisa Lamonaca and Rosa Morinelli)

The Reflections of Silence project was born with the intent to valorize the silence of Garfagnana, considered a unique and precious resource in an era dominated by noise and stress. Silence is not seen as mere absence of sounds, but as a sensory experience that favors contact with nature and promotes inner tranquility. Minucciano, with its natural and historical landscape, is the ideal place to offer an experience that allows users to distance themselves from urban noise and immerse themselves in deep and contemplative listening.

The project is aimed at anyone who wishes to take a break from daily noise and dedicate themselves to attentive listening of imperfect silence, thus fostering personal reflection. Based on research on the benefits of silence, the project highlights how this can have a positive impact on mind and body, reduce stress, promote mindfulness, and contribute to emotional and physical well-being. Philosophical and scientific studies support the idea that silence, understood as the absence of noise, is a tool of wisdom and introspection.

The project includes the design of installations that stimulate silence, amplifying natural sounds to create moments of listening and reflection. Each space is designed to allow visitors to remain still and focus on the sounds of nature, promoting an experience of serenity and introspection. The installations are conceived to offer individual, couple, or group experiences, with the goal of encouraging silence as a tool for deep reflection. In summary, Reflections of Silence offers an opportunity for refuge from the noise of daily life, proposing an experience that stimulates connection with oneself and with nature, promoting a sense of peace and well-being through the power of silence.
