Rapa Nui. The last Argonauts
Among the topics covered by the most eminent scholars, both Italian and foreign, are religion, rites, ceremonies, astronomical knowledge, language, writing, music, and body painting. The book also reflects on the tragic history of the island and the loss of the ethnic memory of its few current descendants, representing a warning about the loneliness and vulnerability of humanity.
This book, curated by Giancarlo Ligabue and Giuseppe Orefici, explores the Easter Island, a place shrouded in mystery and legend
It documents three consecutive missions organized by the Ligabue Study and Research Center of Venice between 1990 and 1993, in collaboration with Chilean and Italian institutions, to deepen the knowledge of the island’s habitation and ceremonial settlements and reconstruct the history of Polynesian settlement.
