Discover the enchanting tale of 'La zucca e la lanterna' (The Pumpkin and the Lantern), an Italian folktale coming to life in Yokohama, Japan during the late 19th century. Witness the beauty of the Model of the cupola atop the Duomo in Milan, inspired by the radiant glow of the Lanterna de Genova, the oldest working lighthouse in the world. This beacon of hope, depicted in Charles Askey's 1818 engraving of Genoa's Porta Vecchia della Lanterna, has stood the test of time, guiding sailors safely to the Italian coast. As the sun sets over the Ligurian Sea, the Lanterna continues to illuminate the night sky, casting a warm, inviting light over the historic city, much like the oil on canvas masterpiece of Santa Maria della Salute.
