with the Museum’s evocative spaces and the precious artifacts housed there. The series
of meetings, curated by Museum curator Anna Letizia Magrassi Matricardi and Paolo
Campiglio, professor of Contemporary Art History at the University’s Department of
Humanistic Studies, under the supervision of Museum director prof. Maurizio Harari,
who will speak at the vernissage, is an opportunity for the University to meet the world
of contemporary creativity.
