Events organised in collaboration with the MEM Freethinking Platform, the University of Luzern, the Institute of Philosophical Studies – Lugano, and under the patronage of the city of Palermo.
These events saw the participation of a huge amount of international scholars, and have been a great chance to show how much Sicily has integration in its DNA, having been the centre of the Mediterranean realm in the 12th and the 13th century, combining ancient Greek, Islamic, Jewish and early Christian culture in an unique way.
More information about the events are available in the attachments and quicklinks to this page.
