Series of public events

[Infopoint]

Dear All,

I am organizing a series of public events  on a monthly basis, with the 
overall title

*"Science, Literature and Civil Commitment."*

In these meetings we will have, as special guests, writers, scientists 
and intellectuals, and on the stage there will be the pleasure of the 
language, in particular: literature, as the art of storytelling, versus 
science, as the art of understanding. But it will become soon clear that 
it is also true the converse, i.e. we can regard science as the art of 
storytelling while literature as the art of understanding. And, above 
all, the civil commitment as moral tension of our life.

We will discuss great thinkers and writers of the past, such as Galileo 
Galilei, or Avicenna; scientists of our time, such as Margherita Hack, 
and great writers of all time, such as Dante, Leopardi, Italo Calvino 
and the engineer Carlo Emilio Gadda .


This week-end, sunday afternoon, we are going to have a meeting on 
Margherita Hack at San Marco,
with guest Pietro Greco.

Please find hereafter the invitation


All the best


Giuseppe Mussardo
