10th Academic Year of MerAteneo, the Spring 2023 session
The message of the Councilor for Culture
In this session of Merateneo different aspects of culture, art and history will be addressed
modern history of Russia that will help us better understand the conflict that is unfolding in the heart of the
European continent. Russian culture is unique, particularly fascinating.
Furthermore, on the 150th anniversary of the death of Alessandro Manzoni, specific lessons could not be missing ed
insights related to the writer which will be followed by cultural initiatives that will be promoted by mine
Councilorship during the year 2023.
Finally, through the knowledge of the archaeological sites of the province, it will be interesting to discover our roots and
our identity to strengthen the link with the territory.
“MerAteneo” will continue to amaze you.
I wish you all a good “journey down memory lane and knowledge”.

Councilor for Tourism and Cultural Promotion
Anniversaries, novelties and great returns in the new session
MerAteneo also continues in 2023 with a program full of insights. In particular, on occasion
of the 150 years since his disappearance, we will learn about Alessandro Manzoni as a man, immersed in his own
historical and above all family context, as well as through the extraordinary musical tribute composed by
maestro Verdi for his funeral.
We will also continue with insights into Russia, a country at the center of today’s events, from
culture as fascinating as it is unknown, completing the history cycle started last session, e
adding meetings on the figures of writers and artists. We will re-propose disciplines dear to MerAteneo, such as the
Psychology, this year in a completely new formula with two speakers on stage, Archaeology, to discover the
our territory, and great returns such as the lessons on Dante. As always there will be some small news:
in fact, this year we will also talk about weapons and military strategies in the Middle Ages.
