Interactive exploration

The educational dimension of the series extends beyond the book itself through the use of QR Codes that guide readers along a safe and well-documented digital exploration. Each link leads to official museum websites, scholarly catalogues, and iconographic archives that preserve the artworks, allowing readers to deepen their understanding of both the images and their contexts. In this way, reading continues within the digital space, where the sources themselves become an integral part of the learning process.
