A book of errors
Science is not a perfect sequence of successes, but rather a path made up of trial, error and new possibilities. Between uncertainties and intuitions, we will explore the value of mistake as a fundamental part of knowledge. A journey inspired by “The book of errors” by Gianni Rodari, where science is told like a fairy tale.

Observations with telescopes
Observations of the night sky with one’s own eyes and with a telescope, in the beautiful setting of the small lake of Castellaro Lagusello.
21:30
Short films
The art of Mistake
Errors are a problem or an opportunity? Between science and cinema, a review of short films – set in the meadow of the Ancient Borough – to discover how new visions can arise from mistakes.
