Our Company
The objective is to recall to travelers' memories the experiences and emotions experienced during visits to museums and our cities and continue to recall them even after departure.
The objects offered are configured as a tool for communication and dissemination of the Italian artistic heritage. Not only do they complete the travellers' experience but they also reach those who have not yet visited our country. They preserve and transmit the memory and the message contained in the masterpieces of art they are inspired by.
Enclopius Edizioni's activity takes place in two different but connected areas. production of merchandising for museum bookshops, management of direct sales to the public.
Merchandising
We have been involved in the museum merchandising sector since 2004 with the design and marketing of t-shirts, shopping bags, mugs, stationery, books, canvases, statues, bronzes all inspired by the art and culture of our country.
Particular attention is paid to graphic and stylistic research. The product is enriched by in-depth information on the reference work, with the idea of also giving it an "educational" character. For example, the t-shirt is sold attached to a book containing descriptive notes of the reference works of art.
We create our merchandising independently and then offer it to museum bookshops with which a partnership relationship is established. The main bookshops where our products are present are the Colosseum, Palazzo Massimo, Capitoline Museums, Villa Adriana, Vatican Museums, Cenacolo Vinciano, Palazzo Ducale di Venezia. While abroad we collaborated with the British Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art on the occasion of exhibitions dedicated to Pompeii.
Since 2012, Enclopius Edizioni has been the exclusive concessionaire for merchandising for the Superintendence of Salerno and Caserta which includes important sites: Paestum, Amphitheater and Museum of Capua.
The activity relating to merchandising exclusively for the Pompeii and Herculaneum bookshops will begin in June 2015.
Retail
Since 2007 we have managed the direct sales activity to the public, Museum-shop. The first was opened in 2007 at Capodichino airport, an airport with six million passengers.
The second in 2011 at the Naples cruise terminal, the most beautiful in the Mediterranean.
The third, the Nilo Museum-shop in the heart of the Historical Center of Naples, inside the famous Panormita palace, the pride of Neapolitan Renaissance architecture. The environments where the Nilo Museum is located are very evocative, they are fifteenth-century environments built on wall structures from the medieval and Roman era. This alone would be worth the visit.
But in these spaces an intense cultural dissemination activity is also carried out with exhibitions, book and record presentations, concerts.
For Christmas 2013, an exhibition of Miniature nativity scenes was presented, which received enormous approval for the extraordinary nature of the works created by the author.
In May 2014 the exhibition V Myths from Pompeii. A journey made up of very high quality reproductions of frescoes, a video narration of the meaning of the Myths in the daily life of the ancient Pompeians and a catalogue. This exhibition was loaned to the Italian Cultural Institute in Marseille and will go to other museums.
The exhibition Luciano De Crescenzo – Photographer. was inaugurated last November
Through the reprinting of photographs from the 1970s, he revealed the extraordinary qualities of the great writer/popularizer/director/actor as a photographer. Also in this case the exhibition was accompanied by a catalogue. The great success of the exhibition made it necessary to extend the closing date.
In May 2015, a cycle of concerts of Ancient Music took place which opened with a demonstration/conference on the music of ancient Pompeii and then continued with concerts of Neapolitan Baroque music. A new cycle of concerts is planned for the autumn 2015 period.
