"I learned so many new things": Italian TV presenter praises "Geography Lessons" at the National Centre RUSSIA
Italian TV presenter and traveller Federico Arnaldi has been living in Russia for nine years and filming travel programmes about the country. However, his visit to the "Geography Lessons" exposition revealed many new facts about Russian regions to him.
"I do not mean school lessons, where you sit and feel bored. I mean 'Geography Lessons' at the National Centre RUSSIA. Today, I discovered so many new things. I now have a whole list of new facts that will definitely become content. It will be very interesting!" Federico Arnaldi noted.
The TV presenter emphasised that despite many years of familiarity with Russia and trips across its regions, the project allowed him to take a fresh look at the country’s diversity and learn previously unknown facts about its regions.
The "Geography Lessons" exposition is a large-scale project by the National Centre RUSSIA that turns the history of Russia’s discoveries into a real journey through the centuries: from ancient scrolls to digital maps, from the first expeditions to space exploration. Here, visitors can see 200-year-old maps showing the routes of pioneers, ironic depictions of Russia through the eyes of foreign cartographers, rare atlases and unique diagrams that had never previously left their repositories.
