When we approach the Sea world usually we swim and looked down. We are halfway on the borderline between the reality of humankind , his imagination and his fantasy and reality submerged which complies with rules of nature. You can find yourself suspended over a deep and ancient world that keeps us afloat. Swimming we think that underneath there is a great number lives moving, a long story told in the silence of the abyss and you can feel part of this story. Imagine immersing, sinking below the liquid surface and reassuring, to go to the origins of that world and thus to the origins of civilization and the origins of man and further back behind those of the earth. Our journey in three dimensions in the universe starts from the blue of park Le Navi.
Templa Serena is the place to start with. The expectation of our fascinating journey. An atmosphere of sounds and images immerses us in that wonderful and mysterious world that is the sea. Nestled in a multi-vision of more than 500 images, we can sit down to be transported to this magical journey looking into the sky, see exploding volcanoes, fear stormy seas, be enthralled by colorful fish, shipwrecks and artifacts found hidden beneath the sea.
The horizon on the sea is our second coordinate. Men, curious, discover the life that inhabits it. Out of the depths to the surface known marine species in the Mediterranean Sea and then dive in a strip of tropical sea to admire dances and colors.
The backdrop: it is our first goal. An unusual and compelling way to understand the evolution and the origin of life on Earth. The sea is not only the cradle of life but also the place where many rocks are formed, we discover how. A vertical jump to the mystery of the origin of all things where the memory of man arrives and the only source of knowledge we possess and the rock on which everything rests.
