*Tonight CONCERT by SCOTT MATHEW *

Tonite at Teatro Miela (near the train station) at 21.30 *Concert by* 
Australian-born *singer songwriter* *Scott Matthew. *He**has been 
likened to David Bowie, Antony Hegarty and any number of musicians from 
the annals of music history who shiver and quiver as they sing. Matthew 
is at his most content living life as a connoiseur of sadness, what 
matters more to him than the folly of likenesses are the distinctive 
nuances and prismatic shades of melancholy.See www.vivaticket.it

*UPCOMING NEXT WEEK, Sat. 2nd November at 18.30 : Maksimovic. La storia 
di Bruno Pontecorvo(The story of Bruno Pontecorvo) **in Teatro 
Miela,written by prof. Giuseppe Mussardo, in cooperation with ICTP & 
INFN, directed by Cenetiempo in 2013. *On September 1, 1950, at the dawn 
of the Cold War, the italian physicist Bruno Pontecorvo and his family 
mysteriously disappeared. This created a real political earthquake in 
Europe and the USA: Pontecorvo was in fact a scientist known around the 
world for his expertise in a very delicate area, that of nuclear 
research. The story of his disappearance is one of the most fascinating 
mysteries related to the atomic era, especially when it became known 
that he had crossed the Iron Curtain and moved to Soviet Union.
Bruno Pontecorvo's unique life was strongly interlaced with 20th century 
history and with the development of particle physics. With his 
exceptional theoretical intuitions, which went hand in hand with his 
brilliant qualities as an experimental physicist, Bruno Pontecorvo is 
the scientist that, more than anyone else, has entered the secrets of 
the most elusive and enigmatic particle of our universe, the neutrino.**
