In 2009 Aurelio Paviato collaborated with Carlo Faggi on the preparation of the exhibition “… Tutto è come appare – Il Fondo Magico di Ovidio Scolari” held at the Braidense National Library in Milan and dedicated to the 227 volumes on the art of magic (as well as various magazines) that Ovidio Scolari (1877 – 1934) left to the Braidense library following his death.
In the catalogue of the exhibition you will find his article on the books of the Scolari Fund, which guides readers in the discovery of the texts preserved here, in a world of secrets that have been jealously guarded for centuries.
