"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 .
