200VOLTeVOLTA
Events calendar
200VOLTeVOLTA is the multidisciplinary programme that will span the territory on the occasion of the Bicentennial: a lively calendar of cultural, scientific, educational and participatory events designed to involve institutions, schools, businesses, commercial establishments, associations and citizens. 200 represents the years that separate us from Volta’s death, but also two hundred events, two hundred protagonists, two hundred collaborations and two hundred ideas capable of generating connections. The name resonates with “VOLT”, the unit of measurement for electricity named after Alessandro Volta: a powerful reference to the scientific legacy of the scientist from Como and, at the same time, to the energy that the region can express by working together. 200VOLTeVOLTA is a network of events that intertwines memory and contemporaneity, science and art, dissemination and entertainment, transforming the celebration into a shared, widespread and generative experience for the whole community.
