Varese, land of events

From Sunday 121 th February to Sunday 17th March 2024 | Province of Varese

FILOSOFARTI - LIMITE/ILLIMITE

From Sunday 11^th February to Sunday 17^th March FilosofArti - Visible/Invisible returns.
Availing itself of illustrious patronage, including the Lombardy Region and Miur, the festival includes a rich programme of interactive meetings and workshops and lectures by great authors, alternating with concerts, encounters with authors, art exhibitions, film forums and theatrical performances. The main objective is to involve people of various age groups and with different interests, bringing them face to face with philosophical reflection. The setback suffered in recent years also in the world of art, culture and entertainment has allowed a new awareness of their role within the community to emerge. The event proposes a series of experiences of a philosophical, artistic, musical, theatrical, visual and photographic nature, promoting their dissemination throughout the Province of Varese, starting from Castellanza.

The list of appointments is being updated!

Events are free, reservations are required where indicated.
