Sulle tracce di Carlo Levi. Il sogno di una memoria dipinta, a video game that can be played for free on the web, focusses on the story of the painter Carlo Levi and the Southern Question. The 2D cartoon, point and click game is available in both Italian and English and puts the player in the role of art expert Benedetta Gioia. Following Carlo Levi’s appearance in a dream, she begins to search for hidden symbols in the village of his birth, Buccino, hoping to find the keys to unlock the hidden drawers of a strange case that she found in his studio. The game unfolds over two acts. Act One lasts about 50 minutes and is available on the Fondazione Luigi Gaeta – Centro Studi Carlo Levi webpage at this link. Act Two takes about 10 minutes to complete and can be played online using a specific code or in the Museum on a special station. At the end of Act One, the player is informed that the itinerary and the works in the game can all be seen in Buccino and that it is possible to play the additional chapter only by visiting the Museum or asking the Museum for the code to unlock the online version.
The game was produced by Fondazione Lugi Gaeta – Centro Studi Carlo Levi, in partnership with the Comune di Buccino and Soprintendenza Archeologica belle arti e paesaggio per la provincia di Salerno e Avellino, as part of the project “Gamified itinerary and horizontal museum. Perceptions and representations of the South in the painting of Carlo Levi”, financed and promoted by Regione Campania, produced by Scabec Spa, as part of the “Cultura 2020” – “Piano strategico Cultura e Beni Culturali” strand and developed by Prism Consulting S.r.l..
