What do the study of a living cell, observed under a microscope, and the analysis of the vicissitudes experienced by the protagonist of a novel have in common? What relationship exists between the search for the physical laws that regulate the life of nature and the definition of the philosophical and moral principles that govern human coexistence? In what ways are mathematicians, physicists, doctors, painters, musicians, philosophers similar – and in what language can they communicate? In short: where is the boundary separating humanistic culture from scientific culture?

These and many other questions will be the focus of Sconfinare Festival 2022. Distinguished guests, a varied and interdisciplinary programme of events, the now iconic transparent marquee in Piazza del Sole, and a series of new cultural and scientific partnerships await you for a three-day event dedicated to the “sconfinamento”.
