Our Company
The goal is to evoke in travelers the experiences and emotions felt during visits to museums and our cities and to continue to evoke them even after departure.
The offered items serve as tools for communication and dissemination of the Italian artistic heritage. They not only complete the travelers' experience but also reach those who have not yet visited our country. They preserve and convey the memory and the message contained in the masterpieces of art that inspire them.
Enclopius Edizioni's activity takes place in two different but connected areas: production of merchandising intended for museum bookshops, and management of direct sales to the public.
Merchandising
We have been active since 2004 in the museum merchandising sector, designing and marketing t-shirts, shopping bags, mugs, stationery, books, canvases, statues, bronzes all inspired by the art and culture of our country.
Particular care is given to graphic and stylistic research. The product is enriched with detailed information about the referenced artwork, with the idea of also giving it an educational character. For example, the t-shirt is sold together with a book containing descriptive notes about the referenced works of art.
We produce our merchandising independently and then offer it to museum bookshops with which we establish a partnership relationship. The main bookshops where our products are available include the Colosseum, Palazzo Massimo, Capitoline Museums, Villa Adriana, Vatican Museums, Cenacolo Vinciano, Doge's Palace in Venice. Abroad, we have collaborated with the British Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art on exhibitions dedicated to Pompeii.
Since 2012, Enclopius Edizioni has been the exclusive concessionaire for merchandising of the Superintendence of Salerno and Caserta, which oversees important sites: Paestum, Amphitheater and Museum of Capua.
Starting from June 2015, activities related to exclusive merchandising for the bookshops of Pompeii and Herculaneum will begin.
Retail
Since 2007 we have been managing the direct-to-public sales activity, Museum-shop. The first was opened in 2007 at Capodichino Airport, a hub 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 Historic Center of Naples, inside the famous Palazzo del Panormita, a pride of Neapolitan Renaissance architecture. The spaces where Nilo Museum is located are very evocative; they are 15th-century environments built on medieval and Roman wall structures. 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, a Miniature Nativity Scenes exhibition was presented, which received enormous acclaim for the extraordinariness of the works created by the author.
In May 2014, the exhibition V Myths from Pompeii. A journey made 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 catalog. This exhibition was loaned to the Italian Cultural Institute of Marseille and will go to other museums.
Last November, the exhibition Luciano De Crescenzo – Photographer was inaugurated.
Through the reprinting of photographs from the 1970s, it revealed the extraordinary qualities as a photographer of the great writer/educator/director/actor. In this case too, the exhibition was accompanied by a catalog. The great success of the exhibition made it necessary to extend the closing date.
In May 2015, a series of Early Music concerts 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 series of concerts is planned for the autumn period of 2015.
