The story behind the name....
The references of the ancient Greek mythology in the region of Arcadia are innumerable, the main one being the birth of Pan.
In the Renaissance, it appears as an antidote to a world cut off from nature, the real "nature" of man that is, constantly seeking to redefine society. It reminds again of the original innocence, of the joy of life, of freedom in love, of simplicity, of nature worship.
The "Arcadian ideal" is a world of Power and Knowledge, a maze of self-knowledge. For the ancients, Arcadia was the land of the ancestors with pious and humble people next to the gods of wild nature, with hospitable people, shepherds, lovers of music and the simple life.
During the Roman era, the Arcadian ideal is about a reminiscence of innocent life, a pastoral paradise. A nostalgia for the pure values of natural life.The Romans to express their admiration for Arcadia called it "Arca Deorum", "Divine Ark", where there is abundance and everything coexists harmoniously.
A world that would seem heavenly and utopian.
