Ekphrasis originates from Itaca’s will to offer a meeting point for different points of view about the arts, a place where all kinds of individuals with an inclination towards the subject can find a common ground made of in-depth analyses and sections designed specifically for the exposition and discussion of their own considerations. Our editorial staff is composed of young students all united by a fondness for the arts, that they see not only as a means for aesthetic fulfillment, but also as a starting point for a reflection on the modern world.
