This September, the Giardino Viatori in Gorizia will host a fascinating series of six public meetings titled ''What Nature Are You?,'' dedicated to the personal relationship each of us has with nature.
Through dialogue with guests from diverse backgrounds-authors, scientists, popularizers, and journalists-the sessions will explore how nature enters people's lives, inspires art and writing, fuels thought, and helps shape our view of the world.
The result will be an intimate and personal dialogue with the guests, in which life experiences, research, art, and writing will intertwine to share how nature has shaped each of their personal and professional journeys.
PROGRAM
Participation in the meetings is free, but reservations are required at [[www.fondazionecarigo.it/naturae| www.fondazionecarigo.it/naturae]].
🌱 The meetings are part of the Fondazione Carigo project ''Naturae. Connections between land and art''.
