The exhibition "The Breath of Life" by Caroline Lepinay is a traveling work in homage to Giacomo Puccini, which celebrates the rebirth of this great composer through his immortal music. Presented at the Gran Teatro Giacomo Puccini in Torre del Lago, this exhibition was organized in collaboration with the National Committee of Puccinian Celebrations, under the presidency of Maestro Alberto Veronesi.

The exhibition draws its inspiration from Puccini's work, particularly through the theme of "Victorious Love" , and offers a contemporary and cinematographic vision of his compositions. The exhibition is distinguished by its narrative approach, where Puccini's life and his compositions are staged in the form of a series of "dioramas" divided into 21 scenes, reminiscent of frames cinematographic Who are used for the creation of a black and white silent short film.

These dioramas immerse the viewer in a dreamlike universe, where each scene is a gateway to the composer's musical universe. The scenes are subtly lit and edited to reflect the atmosphere of silent films, which adds a unique artistic dimension to the entire work.
