The only obligation: to explain their choice.

The exhibition was conceived by Sylvain Bellenger and Andrea Viliani, and the ten famous personalities are: Laura Bossi Régnier, Giuliana Bruno, Gianfranco D’Amato, Marc Fumaroli, Riccardo Muti, Mariella Pandolfi, Giulio Paolini, Paolo Pejrone, Vittorio Sgarbi, and Francesco Vezzoli.
