From today until February 25, to celebrate the arrival of Horizon Forbidden West, in Florence there will be a temporary monument, a statue, dedicated to Aloy, the protagonist of the game. The location is Piazza Madonna della Neve, in the Murate Complex.
Protagonist of the game, to be released on February 18, Aloy is a ‘virtual icon but at the same time realistic. Aloy represents one of the possible expressions ofincredible psychological complexity of mankindfor the purposes of the story, gender difference is not centralbut the value of diversity.
Diversity understood as uniqueness, as an expression of the extraordinary nature of the individual. Born and raised by marginalizedAloy has a unique perspective on the world. She feels like a stranger, but thanks to hers emotional intelligence and to a strong one empathywith perseverance And I commitchallenge the status quo to devote himself to the tireless pursuit of truth and self-discovery.
The statue of Aloy of Horizon a Florence holds the place to all the women of the past who have shared the valueshelping to increase, in different and original ways, sometimes in a discreet but significant way, the artistic heritage, cultural, scientific And social of our country, although they have not always been celebrated in the context of toponymy.
From the first garden named after Tina Anselmi, first woman minister of the Italian Republic, on the terrace in Marielle Franco, a symbol of the struggle against all forms of oppression. And then the plaque of a new street, in the Careggi area, dedicated to Maria Petrocini, the first Florentine surgeon. Florence plays an active role in rewriting toponymy. Maria Pia Ercolini, President of Female Toponymy, said:
The greatest power of toponymy is to create models, to refer to imaginaries, as well as to represent a will. The Sony Interactive Entertainment Italia initiative opens up a preferential communication channel with the younger generations on the importance of cultural models, a reflection on which ones they want to preserve, and which ones they want to give value.
PlayStation finally decided to support the Event Horizon School of Digital Art (a reality active in Italy in preparing for the entertainment professions) with 40 training courses for as many students who want to approach the video game industry.
