Footprints, this is the theme of the new edition of the Science Festival to be held in Genoa from 26 October to 5 November 2023. During these 11 days in the city’s main cultural venues, a rich programme of lectures, workshops, activities, exhibitions and performances will come to life. We will also participate by offering an interactive exhibition on the topic of natural hazards and a workshop on actions that can lead a city to be carbon neutral.
CIMA Research Foundation organises, for the campaign of the National Service of Civil Protection Io non rischio, an exhibition in collaboration with the Department of Civil Protection, ANPAS, National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, ReLUIS, ANCI and Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces. Through photos, videos and interviews, it will be possible to discover some Italian villages that have been hit by extreme natural events: recognising the traces of extreme natural events in the past is possible, all you have to do is look around and sometimes they are recognisable in the form of spectacular abandoned villages. Earthquakes,
especially the strongest ones, leave footprints that can be permanent and survive over time. The same can be said for floods and fires. It is essential to be able to observe and understand one’s own territory in order to understand which areas may be the most fragile and prone to possible future events. Representing and narrating the ‘risk culture’ is essential to consolidate prevention activities directly on the ground.

THE MULTIMEDIA PLATFORM
To tell the story of each place, a multimedia platform has been created where you can find insights and interviews to better understand what happened and how the structure of that place has evolved up to today. CLICK HERE to open the multimedia platform
