This is the complete programme of events from July to September. Here information and updates on current events.
This conference of Prof. Rosa Otranto (Università degli Studi di Bari “Aldo Moro”) is in the framework of Fisics&Art against CO2, a project of public engagement in science and technology promoted by the University of Udine and other partners which includes an exhibition, conference and workshops to promote interest, knowledge and reflection on renewable energies.
Rosa Otranto will guide attendees in the discovery of an ancient, but modern for its interdisciplinary approach, research institute: The Library of Alexandria, the most important library in the ancient world. Founded - at the suggestion of Demetrius of Phalerum - by Ptolemy I Soter, the first Greek ruler of Egypt, and enlarged by his successor, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, still today embodies the archetype of the "universal library". Annexed to the Museum, it was a real research institute, in which scientists and philologists harmoniously lived, dedicated to the study of the most varied branches of knowledge: from philology, to geometry, physics, astronomy, geography, medicine, natural science. Built as an expression of a program that is primarily political, and that wants to connote the city founded by Alexander the Great as a city with a strong Hellenic cultural identity, the Library becomes, for the tradition of classical texts, a sort of ark which, through various mechanisms - of collection, translation, study and diffusion - allowed their conservation up to the present day.
From 16 years up
The conference will also be braodcasted in streaming.
