I took part in “Ereditare Eco. Umberto Eco, l’Università di Bologna e tutti i saperi del mondo” (“Inheriting Eco: Umberto Eco, the University of Bologna, and all the world’s knowledge”), the first international conference dedicated to Umberto Eco’s intellectual legacy on the tenth anniversary of his death (University of Bologna, May 27-29, 2026, over 300 scholars and 200 papers).
As part of the conference, together with Emiliano Battistini and Francesco Giomi (with a contribution by Maurizio Bettini), I curated the musical event “Ecolalie. Umberto Eco, il suono, la musica” (“Echoes of Eco: Umberto Eco, Sound, and Music”) — an artistic exploration of Eco’s relationship with sound, in collaboration with the Bologna Conservatory and the PNRR IRACF project. Teatro DAMSLab, May 27, 7-8:30pm.
