Cogito, un aperitivo per la mente

June 22, 2018 - November 9, 2018

Presented by Francesca and Alberto Tasca d’Almerita.

Cogito, an aperitif for the mind comes from an idea of Francesca and Alberto Tasca d’Almerita. An observatory of reflections on contemporary issues and cultural phenomena based on optimism, it creates space for cohesion and interaction, a “social defibrillator” that through the “cogitazioni” actively involves the public in debate. Each event includes different protagonists creating talking spaces. Collector and patron Massimo Valsecchi will be host on 22 June.

Public talk: 22 June, 7.30 pm at Palazzo Butera, Via Butera 25, Palermo.

The sociologist Maria Frega and the journalist Francesco De Filippo interviewed 13 scientists about our immediate future: from genetics to robotics, from the demographic bomb to big data, from neuroscience to new materials and the result is a chronology of close events that will change the face of the world we know today. Frega and De Filippo (authors of the book Prossimi umana, published by Giunti) will be the speakers at the tenth appointment of Cogito an aperitif for the mind  “PROSSIMI UMANI”, a project born from an idea of ​​Alberto and Francesca Tasca d’Almerita. The event is part of Palermo capitale italiana della cultura 2018 and among the Collateral Events of Manifesta 12.

Public talk: 9 November, 7.30 pm at Università degli Studi di Palermo, Scuola Politecnica, Viale delle Scienze, Edificio 7, Viale delle Scienze, 7, Palermo.
