Kristin Jones<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Daniel Brown<\/span><\/a> presented LUMINALIA as part of the “<\/span>Flussi Corrent<\/span><\/a>i” program.\u00a0 A serpentine line of fire floated upon the Tiber’s surface, illuminating the length of the river basin with one thousand flames throughout the night and into the morning hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

The half-kilometer long serpent of fire celebrated the Tiber River, which is known also as the \u2018blond serpent\u2019. The serpent symbolizes <\/span>Aesculapius<\/span><\/a>, Roman god of medicine, whose mythological island home <\/span>Isola Tiberina<\/span><\/a> lies in the centre of the river site. One thousand candles lined each bank, while the serpent was formed from another thousand candles floated in the centre of the Tiber, taking life from the currents and carrying light into the darkness to prolong the longest day of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n
