Titian's portrait of Caterina Cornaro came to Cyprus in the fall of 1995 for the celebration of the event, "Nicosia, Cultural Capital of Europe." She was the queen of the island at the end of the fifteenth century. Under the enchanted eyes of cypriot children, Caterina's image again takes on life, memory, a glance, and a voice... Suddenly she frees herself from the picture frame and takes us on a flight to look again at what is left of her lost kingdom. In this way, the sparse traces of Italian culture - when they are observed and seen anew - come together again to become living part of a pulsing organism.
