On Thursday 4 November 2021, at 5 p.m., in the Salone Teresiano of the Pavia University Library (Corso Strada Nuova, 65), the bilingual photographic book by Elisa Moretti Pavia. A walk through “our” University. Ivan Fowler, who edited the English translation, will talk to the author.

Many people in Pavia only know the University superficially, although they feel its charm and connection. Cesare Angelini used to say: ‘Even the least educated person passing by the University has a sense of the place and its importance and, even if he has never set foot in it, says “our University”‘.

Elisa Moretti, a photographer who has worked on many books about the University, realised this and decided to try to bridge the gap between the citizens and the University of Pavia, mainly through images.

The book takes us through the main campus with its libraries and museums, to the Botanical Garden, Palazzo Botta, the Spallanzani Institute with the Kosmos Museum, and then to the Cravino Campus with its museums and research laboratories.

It is a University of today as experienced by students, lecturers and visitors. A photographic journey through the spaces and faces that animate it every day.
