Call to action

The celebrations for Alessandro Volta’s bicentenary are not just a packed calendar of events: they are a collective project, an opportunity to transform a historic anniversary into a living, shared experience, open to all. With the Call to action, celebrations move beyond institutional venues and become part of everyday life in the city: an invitation to participate is extended to citizens, volunteers, schools, associations and businesses, each according to their own skills, energy and passions. We believe that Volta’s legacy – characterised by curiosity, invention and openness to the future – can only be recounted and experienced through broad, inclusive and collective participation. That is why we want the celebrations to be an experience we build together, where every contribution counts and everyone can feel like a protagonist.

Find out how to participate: you can request financial or non-financial sponsorship, volunteer your time and skills, or contribute as a business owner by promoting the Bicentennial in urban spaces. Three different ways, one goal: to ignite Volta’s energy together and spread it throughout the city.
