Simulation: Mondo Nuovo Device
Who will see the mondo nuovo? Who will see the mondo nuovo? And in Venetian dialect: “In ’sta casela mostro ‘l mondo niovo.’” I can show you the New World in this little box. With inside distances and perspectives, I ask a coin per head and I shall find it. Take a look. “It is an ingenious contraption” says Goldoni, the great playwright. “It reveals so many wonders to the eye, and by virtue of optical crystals even makes flies appear to be the size of horses.” Come see for yourself. For a coin, we’ll take you on a journey up the River Brenta and even farther. All around the world. You’ll see the North Pole, the Americas, and even Venice, in a reversed perspective from afar. Come, children, a coin per head, come look inside the mondo nuovo.
