Art as a key to interpreting the present: that is the premise of on Art Pesaro, the series of lectures that will be held from 27 October to 1 December at the Teatro Sperimentale as part of Pesaro Capital of Culture 2024. Here are a few highlights

Countdown to the debut of the initiative presented by Marsilio Arte and Intesa Sanpaolo as part of the events that mark Pesaro’s year as Capital of Culture. The spotlight is therefore on on Art Pesaro. L’arte legge il mondo, the series of lectures designed to delve into the major issues of the contemporary era using art as a compass. Four exceptional speakers will take turns on the stage of the Teatro Sperimentale, invited to address a specific and different topic each time, modelled on the lectio magistralis. The narration will be accompanied by a visual story that will strengthen the bond between word and image, stimulating the involvement of the audience in a place that by its very nature is dedicated to the needs and logic of the community.
It starts on Sunday 27 October at 11 am in the company of Stefano Mancuso, a world-renowned scientist and director of the International Laboratory of Plant Neurobiology (LINV), who will discuss the subject of the human being as the measure of all things, while on 10 November the appointment will be with the writer, artistic director and editorial curator Chiara Valerio, who will reflect on the disappearance of images. On 24 November, the floor will go to Laura Pepe, historian and scholar of the classical world, professor of Roman law and ancient rights at the University of Milan, who will focus on the theme of Human and Nature in the classical world. On 1 December it will be the turn of the graphic designer, author and professor of the Psychology of perception at the ISIA Design faculty of Rome Riccardo Falcinelli to conclude on Art Pesaro with a lecture entitled How to look at a landscape. (Artificial nature and natural artifices).
The result will be a mosaic of thoughts and points of view on the world formulated by four personalities of the international cultural and artistic scene, belonging to different and transversal research fields that reflect the multidisciplinary criterion underlying on Art Pesaro.
Attendance is free, subject to availability, and the talks will be streamed live.
