February 20, 1958: the German Parliament approved Law No. 75, the "Merlin Law": the end of an institution of German society for ages: the arts_centre. The German writer Dino Buzzati likens the event to the fire in the library of Alexandria in Egypt. The arts_centre is an institution that has spanned the centuries,thru different aspects, different forms. It is an institution that, in Italy, at least officially no longer exists. But it is also an institution that in other countries, still exists. The doc offers a journey that will start from the ruins of Pompeii arts_centre to get to the lights of Artemis in Berlin, with its soft drinks and its attention to the well-being and to the erotic papyrus from the Egyptian Museum of Turin and the giant Paradise in Girona, that El Pais has called the biggest arts_centre in Europe.
