The Academy
Based on historical documents, the "Paganini Mystery Room" is a dynamic and interactive project inspired by the concept of escape rooms, designed to explore the man behind the legend, Niccolò Paganini. Participants will engage in a 1 hour "Sherlock Holmes" style investigation, progressing through various stages to uncover mysteries surrounding Paganini's legend, culminating in a solo violin performance.
