SUMMARY:20 March: “Università Svelate”\, events in Parma for National University Day
DESCRIPTION:20 March: “Università Svelate” (Universities Revealed)\, events in Parma for National University Day\nOn Friday\, 20 March\, the University of Parma will participate in the second edition of Università svelate (Universities Revealed)\, the National University Day promoted by the Conference of Italian University Rectors (CRUI) and sponsored by the Ministry of University and Research. \nUniversità Svelate aims to be an opportunity to meet and share the scientific and cultural heritage that the academic community produces for society\, through initiatives open to the public throughout the day. \nFrom the outset\, the basic idea has been to show the driving role that universities play in the development of the country and in promoting social cohesion. \nThe University of Parma has planned three initiatives for this edition. \nFrom 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.\, free admission to MUST\, the University’s Museum of Natural History.\n \nFor the occasion\, MUST will be transformed into a space for access\, encounter and knowledge\, offering the community a journey of discovery that will allow them to get closer to the museum’s collections and the symbolic places of the University\, witnesses to the history of the University and the role it has played in the construction and transmission of knowledge. The Museum will be open free of charge for the entire day\, encouraging wide and inclusive enjoyment of the University’s cultural heritage. \nAs part of this process of openness and dialogue between tradition and innovation\, a 3D printer will be in operation throughout the day\, producing gadgets inspired by the museum’s collections and the history of the University. The activity aims to highlight the processes of contemporary reinterpretation of historical heritage through digital technologies\, emphasising the continuity between memory\, research and innovation. \nAt 4 p.m. in the Cavalieri Hall\, there will be a public meeting entitled The Enigmatic Collection of Father Jean Baptiste Fourcault: The Secret of the Animals in Bottles Revealed\, during which the Scientific Director of MUST\, Davide Persico\, will guide participants in a reflection on the historical and cultural value of one of the most significant collections in the university’s heritage. \nThe initiative aims to highlight the role of the University as a dynamic public institution\, capable of combining heritage protection with research and teaching activities\, and to make the languages and tools of knowledge production accessible to the public\, emphasising the role of universities as open\, lively and participatory cultural centres\, where history\, research and innovation meet society. \nAt 6.30 pm in the Aula Magna\, Insight\, a show produced by CUT – Centro Universitario Teatrale (CAPAS di Ateneo) and directed by Beatrice Baruffini\, is scheduled \nThe protagonists are CUT students from all disciplines at the University. \nInsight is a study based on the relationship between human beings and digital devices. It draws inspiration from the text Le non cose (The Non-Things) by philosopher Byung Chul Han\, who defines our era as that of phono sapiens\, referring also to the mobile devices that have invaded our lives and now act almost as an “extension” of our bodies. \nThe result is a catalogue of terms\, voices\, actions\, gestures and images that describe us as phono sapiens. \nThere is no judgement in what we have become. Rather\, there are new images\, scenarios\, new\nattitudes and postures\, other types of relationships. As always when we experience epochal changes: something disappears\, much is transformed\, we evolve and with us our way of being or no longer being a society. \nAdmission is free until all seats are taken.

SUMMARY:23 and 24 February: two events on the relationship between omic technologies\, biodiversity and phytochemistry
DESCRIPTION:Two meetings at the Pharmacy Complex of the Science and Technology Campus. Guest speaker: researcher Tito Damiani from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences\, member of the international Earth Metabolome Initiative network. \nThe double event scheduled for Monday 23rd and Tuesday 24th February at the Science and Technology Campus (Pharmacy Building\, Lecture Hall I). It is co-organised by the Department of Food and Drug Sciences\, the “G. Casnati” Interdepartmental Services and Measurement Centre and the University Museum System\, with the support of the FOODER network. \nOmics Approaches for Studying the Chemistry of Life the title of the meeting on 23 February\, mzmine for Mass Spectrometry Data Processing the one on the 24th. \nBoth events will begin at 9 a.m. and are aimed at researchers\, doctoral students\, and advanced students interested in the frontiers of natural product chemistry\, metabolomics\, and plant biodiversity. \nThe guest will be Tito Damiani\, researcher at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences and member of the international Earth Metabolome Initiative network. Dr Damiani is part of the research group led by Tomáš Pluskal\, which has been working for years on the integration of mass spectrometry\, metabolomics\, bioinformatics and machine learning to develop innovative processes and workflows aimed at discovering bioactive natural molecules and understanding their biosynthesis. \nThe seminar on 23 February will focus on the role of omic technologies at the intersection of natural substance chemistry and data science. The latest strategies used to systematically explore the chemical diversity generated by plants during evolution and translate it into new application and study opportunities\, from pharmacology to natural sciences\, will be illustrated. The seminar will highlight the strategic role of botanical gardens as scientific infrastructures for research into natural substances. In addition to preserving biodiversity\, these collections are effectively “living libraries”\, which are essential for comparative studies on plant metabolomes and for the creation of global databases of terrestrial chemical diversity. This perspective is reflected in international initiatives such as the Earth Metabolome Initiative\, which aims to systematically catalogue the metabolites produced by living organisms and build collaborative platforms for data sharing and accelerating scientific discovery. \nThe event on 24 February will be a practical workshop for teachers and PhD students\, led by Tito Damiani\, focusing on the use of the open-source software MzMine for importing\, visualising\, processing and annotating mass spectrometry data\, specialising in untargeted analysis (metabolomics and proteomics). \n\n\nInfo\nrenato.bruni@unipr.it\nchiara.dallasta@unipr.it \n\n\n\n\nPoster

SUMMARY:Giorgio Armani: the Genius on display until 15 February
DESCRIPTION:GIORGIO ARMANI: THE GENIUS ON DISPLAY IN PARMA\nAt the Abbey of Valserena\, over 100 original works drawn from materials donated by the designer to the CSAC in the 1980s. \nThe genius and creativity of Giorgio Armani on display in Parma\, at the Abbey of Valserena\, from 13 December 2025 to 15 February 2026. A comprehensive tribute organised by the University of Parma and CSAC – the University’s Centre for Studies and Communication Archives. \nThe exhibition is entitled Giorgio Armani Archivio CSAC and brings together over one hundred original works selected from the more than 8\,000 items that make up the Giorgio Armani Collection\, personally donated by the designer to the CSAC in the 1980s. Drawings\, sketches and design materials belonging to the vast heritage preserved in the Media-Fashion section of the Centre\, an exceptional collection of testimonies that allows visitors to retrace the formative years and the evolution of the creative language of one of the most iconic figures in Italian fashion worldwide. \nIn addition to the original materials on display\, there will be a selection of press articles dedicated to Armani’s meteoric rise on the international fashion scene and his early relationships with Hollywood. The exhibition will also feature posters from the two films that marked the designer’s definitive consecration in the world of cinema: Woody Allen’s Annie Hall\, in which Diane Keaton won an Oscar in 1978 wearing an Armani suit for the first time\, and Paul Schrader’s American Gigolo\, the film that revolutionised men’s fashion in 1980 thanks to the wardrobe created by the designer for the protagonist played by Richard Gere. \nWith this exhibition\, CSAC continues its tribute to Giorgio Armani\, who passed away on 4 September\, offering the public the opportunity to discover the origins of a style destined to influence generations. The designs on display – fashion sketches\, drawings and preparatory studies created using mixed techniques – convey the essence of Armani’s talent through his early works preserved in the Archive and dating from between 1975 and 1980. The representation of the female figure and the choice of materials express a new attitude\, combining freedom of movement\, elegance and awareness. Soft lines and flowing fabrics alternate with more structured materials\, in a balance of contrasts that characterises the designer’s entire production. \nArmani’s graphic style gave rise to slender female figures inspired by the figurative culture of the 1930s and the graphic sensibility of illustrators such as Guido Crepax; dresses conceived as fluid structures\, where flowing fabrics interact with more substantial materials; the birth of the famous women’s suit and unstructured jacket\, destined to become symbols of Armani’s new elegance. The exhibition also reveals the transformation of men’s fashion: softer lines\, fabrics far removed from classic rigidity in an innovative vision that anticipates the almost interchangeability of men’s and women’s wardrobes\, where gender codes intertwine and are redefined. \nGiorgio Armani Archive CSAC \n13 December 2025 – 15 February 2026 \nCSAC – Centre for Studies and Archive of Communication \nUniversity of Parma | Abbey of Valserena \nViazza di Paradigna 1\, Parma \nOpening hours: Friday 9am-3pm | Saturday and Sunday 10am-7pm \nContact details: servizimuseali@csacparma.it

SUMMARY:Sunday\, 16 November: second event in the series “Oltre le Opere / Dentro alla Musica” at the CSAC
DESCRIPTION:Following last Sunday’s event with Museo svelato (The Museum Revealed)\, the CSAC continues its Oltre le Opere / Dentro alla Musica (Beyond the Works / Inside Music) series with three chamber concerts and narration\, a project in which music meets \nOn Sunday\, 16 November\, at the Abbey of Valserena\, starting at 10:30 a.m.\, the second event is scheduled\, with free admission: Intrecci / ‘Le parole ivi raggrumate’ (The words gathered there)\, a concert performed by the Quartetto Dedicato\, formed by Daniele Ruzza and Camilla Mazzanti on violins\, Behrang Rassekhi on viola\, and Adan Alejandro Gomez Dominguez on cello\, with narration by Faustino Stigliani. \nA highly regarded theatre actor and beloved radio voice\, Stigliani will give voice to Luigi Magnani\, here in the role of scholar of the Conversation Notebooks (the writings Beethoven used to communicate despite his deafness)\, which he himself commented on in the book Beethoven nei suoi Quaderni di Conversazione (Beethoven in his Conversation Notebooks\, 1975). Part of these writings\, with Beethoven’s reflections\, will be read by Stigliani\, particularly those relating to the music in the programme: the Quartet in A minor\, Op. 132\, and Große Fuge in B flat major\, Op. 133\, composed by Beethoven in the last years of his life\, when he definitively chose the quartet as his privileged and exclusive means of intimate expression\, experimentation and constant formal work. Beethoven entrusted these quartets with his most extreme thoughts\, his anxieties\, his deepest reflections\, and a humour that was at times dark and sardonic\, at times genuine and good-natured. \nIn Op. 132 in particular\, he manages to reconcile sonata form\, Gregorian chant (the Lydian mode of the Canzona di ringraziamento\, the evocative title of the third movement)\, variation\, folk dance (in the formidable trio of the second movement)\, march and rondo. The Fugue Op. 133\, on the other hand\, is an extraordinarily complex\, even mysterious piece: ignored for a century and rediscovered in the 20th century\, it is now considered one of the greatest and most surprising musical creations of all time. \nThe musical event will be preceded by a meeting dedicated to the venue\, Intorno allo CSAC (Around the CSAC)\, curated by Mariapia Branchi\, head of the CSAC’s Archival and Museum Unit. The topic will be Migliaia di Collezioni (Thousands of Collections)\, closely linked to Luigi Magnani\, a great collector. \nInfo: csac@unipr.it ; tel. 0521.903649 \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInfo: www.csacparma.it\, csac@unipr.it\, servizimuseali@csacparma.it

SUMMARY:MUST\, Italy's first Museum of Natural Historiography\, opens its doors
DESCRIPTION:The MUST\, the Museum of Natural Historiography of the University of Parma (Via Università\, 12)\, has been inaugurated. Modern\, immersive\, sensory and inclusive: strongly desired by the University and financed by the PNRR of the Ministry of Culture\, the new exhibition is the result of the redevelopment of the University’s Natural Historiography Museum – now housed in a single\, fully accessible location – and is unprecedented in Italy\, as the entire collection has been expanded and rearranged into a grand naturalistic narrative that\, following a timeline\, chronologically reveals its scientific\, technological\, historical and aesthetic development through the lives and collections of its protagonists. It is not a revolution\, therefore\, but a true evolution\, since the exhibition is completely immersed in its historical context and\, through evocative displays\, shows how the vision of nature and\, with it\, the concept of exhibition design has changed over the centuries\, from the first private collections to the museum as a public institution. \n‘What we are proposing with MUST\,’ explains Paolo Martelli\, Rector of the University of Parma\, “is not just a renovated museum but a new one: characterised by a new vision\, a new approach\, a new organisation of materials and a new underlying spirit. An inclusive\, accessible\, immersive space\, not only for contemplation but also for interaction\, not static but dynamic: a living space that aims to be a 360-degree cultural hub and an important point of reference for the city\, the region and beyond. We strongly believe in this\, not least because this museum is part of the city’s heritage and houses an extremely valuable cultural corpus: with this intervention\, we have sought to enhance it to the fullest. \n‘Rethinking the Natural History Museum was a fascinating challenge\,’ says Davide Persico\, Scientific Director of MUST. “The analysis of the collections and the continuous dialogue with the concept of time led us to favour a historiographical approach\, capable of highlighting the protagonists who founded and transformed the museum. This vision gave rise to the Museum of Natural Historiography\, a unique institution in Italy and abroad. The exhibition recounts the lives of the figures who have marked its history\, the transformation of scientific knowledge throughout different eras and the evolution of natural history museums from their origins to the present day. The result is an innovative project that combines memory\, research and dissemination\, becoming a real feather in the cap for the University and a new cultural and educational destination for the city of Parma.” \nThe inauguration will take place on Thursday\, 30 October. The first stop is in the Aula Magna\, with speeches by Rector Paolo Martelli\, Delegate for Museum Activities Donato A. Grasso\, Scientific Director of MUST Davide Persico\, and architect Maria Amarante\, who curated the exhibition\, followed by a lecture entitled “Uomini da quando? (Humans since when?)” by Guido Barbujani\, geneticist and professor at the University of Ferrara. This was followed by the ribbon cutting and the inaugural guided tour. \nHere is the programme for the coming days \n31st October. This is an “educational day” dedicated to scientific dissemination and discovery at MUST\, with a packed schedule of activities designed for students of all levels\, but also open to the general public: meetings\, conferences and guided tours taking place in the university classrooms and museum exhibition spaces\, covering naturalistic\, historical and museum-related topics. \n1st November. The doors of MUST will open to the public with a day of free admission and guided tours available upon reservation: an opportunity to explore the collections and learn about the history\, science and curiosities they contain. \nThe Museum of Natural Historiography \nContemplation\, interaction\, immersion and\, above all\, inclusion. These are the key principles that led to the creation of MUST\, a lively space entirely geared towards visitors\, capable of evoking the past as the cornerstone for the creation of the museum of the future. The term Naturalistic Historiography – most likely used for the first time – emphasises how\, through a journey through time\, it is possible to recount the protagonists\, their work and their vision of Natural History in different eras. Thus\, the intertwining stories of the figures who founded and contributed to the growth of the former Natural History Museum of the University of Parma\, from the second half of the 18th century to the present day\, and their collections are recontextualised and enhanced by a chronological\, historiographical and sensory journey of great impact and modernity\, in step with the evolution of knowledge and modern sensibilities. In a unique location at the University’s headquarters (the previous museum was fragmented into two locations)\, MUST also serves as a new space for scientific\, anthropological and other types of research\, with a focus on disseminating the principles of biodiversity\, environmental protection and cultural exchange\, and as a starting point for new intersections between museum collections and debates on sustainability and the role of the scientific community in relation to society. \nFrom a museological point of view\, this was made possible by comparing and implementing the different theoretical positions on exhibition design that have emerged in recent years\, leading to the isolation and enhancement of three main values at MUST: \n\ncontemplation\, guaranteed by the exhibition layout. The collection comprises around 6\,000 items on display\, many of which were previously inaccessible but have now been restored to their former glory and given new importance and prestige through their enhanced positioning;\nInteraction\, based on the presentation of concepts (display of knowledge\, scientific approach\, performance space\, dialogic logic)\, with the introduction of multimedia elements that create a direct relationship between the visitor and the story being told. In this specific case\, these are animated scenes\, with the protagonists of the various sections – played by actors in costume – recounting their collections in the first person\, but also describing the characteristics of the museum in its own era according to contemporary tastes and sensibilities;\nthe immersion\, which stems from the exhibition of environmental installations\, as is the case with the two spectacular wunderkammern\, the salon of Maria Luigia of Habsburg and the studies of Pellegrino Strobel and Angelo Andres\, capable of guaranteeing visitors a total aesthetic experience\, catapulting them into the atmosphere of the time in a fascinating journey through the centuries.\n\nIn terms of accessibility\, MUST far surpasses the previous museum\, removing physical\, cognitive and sensory barriers to allow all types of visitors to enjoy a fully independent visit. This has been made possible by creating a barrier-free access route on both levels of the museum building: on the ground floor\, the single entrance\, marked by a tactile floor path\, benefits from a new ramp and lift adapted to the needs of visitors with motor and sensory disabilities; on the first floor\, sensory and cognitive accessibility to the collections is guaranteed by the installation of new display cases at a height suitable for children and visitors in wheelchairs\, the introduction of tactile maps and detailed audio guides for the visually impaired\, and the use of digital explanatory aids that allow the deaf to enjoy videos in Italian Sign Language (LIS). \nThe stages of wonder \nThe extraordinary journey of MUST begins on the ground floor of the main building of the University of Parma and takes place on two levels. The collection is revealed to visitors through seven themed display cases dealing with highly topical naturalistic issues – anthropogenic and climatic extinctions; environmental protection and sustainability; museums and biodiversity; CITES and illegal trade; private collecting; geographical expeditions; evolution – which aim to introduce visitors to the more immersive and structured tour of the upper floor. Also on the ground floor is a palaeontology section\, with significant and impressive finds\, including a dolphin bearing the marks of predation by a great white shark – the only one of its kind in the world – and the extraordinary\, almost complete skeleton of an eight-metre whale\, both dating from the Pliocene epoch (2.6-5.3 million years ago)\, fossils from the Po floods and Pleistocene mammals.\nOn the upper floor\, the promise of a primarily sensory journey through the past\, present and future is revealed with incontrovertible clarity to visitors\, who immediately enter a huge\, spectacular purple wunderkammer\, the historical ancestor of every natural history museum\, created in classic Renaissance style with objects from the University’s various historical collections. Crocodiles\, sea turtles\, leopards\, giant shells\, colourful birds\, strange deformed creatures\, corals\, sponges\, skeletons\, skulls… everything in this environment – where the exhibition space is maximised to occupy every surface of the room\, from the walls inside the cabinets to the barrel ceiling – contributes to creating wonder and curiosity. \nProceeding on the left\, the wunderkammer offers a digression – access is not mandatory\, due to sensitive content – in favour of Lorenzo Tenchini‘s anatomical-clinical collection of wax models dating back to the late 19th century. Tenchini was a highly skilled physician who produced facial masks of criminals following the physiognomic and criminological theories of Cesare Lombroso\, to whom he supplied them. At the end of the hall of wonders are the famous glass ampoules with stems by Father Jean Baptiste Fourcault\, dated between 1760 and 1770: a collection of taxidermied animals\, placed in bottles with necks too narrow to insert them\, whose creation has remained a mystery for almost three centuries. It is the friar himself – the first founder of an ornithological cabinet in Parma commissioned by the Bourbons – who tells visitors his story from an animated painting\, as does Maria Luigia of Habsburg in the next room\, who expertly and elegantly introduces her delightful “period salon”\, a room decorated in shades of blue\, like a noble house\, populated by the enormous quantity of artefacts that characterised her reign and her prolific acquisition work (1816-1847)\, of which the Egyptian goat\, the narwhal tooth and the Borgo San Donnino meteorite\, which fell in Fidenza in 1808\, are particularly noteworthy. The largest section of the MUST collection dates back to the Louis period: crossing the threshold at the exit of Maria Luigia’s drawing room\, visitors enter the ancient gallery of the Natural History Museum\, a vast and dense exhibition of artefacts\, including a section dedicated to comparative anatomy\, which bears witness to a historical moment already characterised by a precise division of the sciences\, but also by a display method that still reflects a strong aesthetic component. \nThe layout of the exhibition underwent a significant change in 1859\, the year Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species was published and Professor Pellegrino Strobel arrived in Parma as a lecturer at the University and director of the Natural History Museum. A progressive and visionary figure\, Strobel immediately understood Darwin’s evolutionary theories and applied them to the exhibition system of his museum\, giving it a completely unexpected modernity. The MUST recounts the stages of this process through the specimens collected and observed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace\, the zoological illustrations of Ernst Haeckel and the meticulous installation of Strobel’s own study. Turning right in the gallery\, the MUST offers a substantial zoological and ethnographic collection – also created under Strobel – which recounts colonialism and ethnography thanks to collections from the Congo belonging to the soldier Emilio Piola and the magistrate Temistocle Ferrante (first room) and the section dedicated to Vittorio Bottego (second room)\, with a vast taxidermy collection from Eritrea and a documentary film that contextualises Bottego as a military man in the service of science\, rather than the heroic explorer of the African continent historically portrayed by Italian regime propaganda. \nLeaving this section\, visitors return to the main gallery to view the Alberto Del Prato collection\, a sort of flashback to the biodiversity of the province of Parma in the second half of the 19th century\, with a rich series of vertebrates from the Parma area\, some of which are very curious because they are now extinct. The exhibition then reaches its penultimate stage with a reconstruction of the study of Professor and Director Angelo Andres\, who in 1925 was the architect of the last museum revolution before the birth of the MUST. a great expert in biology and marine fauna – whose photographs and coral collection can be admired – it is with him\, through the canonical animated picture\, that visitors take stock of the itinerary they have just completed. \nThe final act of the journey is a sort of abrupt and dreamlike return to the future\, an intelligent circularity. An enormous Kubrickian monolith stands out in front of the visitor\, inviting them to enter what is effectively a second wunderkammer\, hypermodern and futuristic\, where\, free of any classification or information\, in a riot of colours\, there are almost three hundred entomological boxes: this is the collection of local and exotic lepidoptera and beetles created by Don Ezio Boarini and acquired by the Museum in the 1990s\, now on display for the first time in all its spectacular entirety. \n

SUMMARY:Botanical Garden: second phase of restyling
DESCRIPTION:The first renovation site of the Botanical Garden of the University of Parma\, relating to works financed under the PNRR investment line  “Programmi per valorizzare l’identità dei luoghi: parchi e giardini storici”\, supported by the European Union – NextGenerationEU. \n\n\nThe work\, in fact a first part of a larger restyling of the garden in Via Farini\, involved the conservative restoration of internal pathways\, fountains\, stone flower beds and the gate and access staircase from Viale Martiri della Libertà\, restored to its original colours. A lighting and irrigation system was also installed for all 11\,000 square metres of the garden\, with a recovery of the water used to feed the fountains. \nThe most important operation involved the construction of a new exhibition greenhouse to be dedicated to succulent plants\, built according to the specific ecological requirements of high-altitude Cactaceae. The decision to create a small rock garden and a large dry garden\, as well as the refurbishment of the wetlands\, followed one of the most important guidelines for the future management of the Garden: to represent a sort of “urban embassy” of the most relevant and sensitive habitats in the area\, in synergy with the framework agreement that the University has recently signed with the Ente Parchi del Ducato. \n\n\nThe work also laid the foundations for the complete redevelopment of the offer in terms of communication\, education and accessibility\, with the creation of new visitor routes based on the balance between the multimedia component and direct experience\, increasing the dimension of the visual\, olfactory\, sound and tactile landscape. Finally\, more historic trees were secured through modern arboricultural approaches aimed at prolonging their life\, to be illustrated to the public as a correct management model for the urban tree component. \nThe closure of the PNRR funding activities now allows the start of a new phase in the parallel building renovation project involving the Botanical Garden’s historical buildings\, including the Ferdinandee Greenhouses and the School of Botany. This second line of action\, which has benefited from a fundamental impulse and active collaboration from “Parma\, io ci sto!”\, is co-financed by the University of Parma\, the Ministry of University and Research\, the Cariparma Foundation and the Chiesi Group. \nThe restoration project\, developed in its executive phase by the companies Mazzei Architects srl\, Faccio Engineering srl and SC Engineering srl starting with the final design by arch. Guido Canali\, focuses on a conservative approach\, aimed at preserving the historical and botanical structures while enhancing the existing spaces. \n\n\nThe intervention aims to guarantee maximum flexibility of use\, which in the case of the 18th century Serre Ferdinandee will translate into the reconstruction of the roof and systems\, the restoration of the historical glass windows and the recovery of the interior spaces\, to be used mainly for the conservation of plants but also for educational and exhibition activities\, maintaining flexibility for future changes. The greenhouse forecourt is preserved\, preserving the existing vegetation\, restoring the greenhouses\, the characteristic balustrade and the warm beds intended for winter sheltering of the Parma Violet. \n  \nA new elevated walkway will be built\, with a pergola to house new plant collections on the north side of the Ferdinandee greenhouses. The west end\, a building erected in the 1960s next to the greenhouses themselves\, will be rebuilt in a new contemporary look to house reception\, cafeteria and bookshop activities. The structure will be characterised by green walls\, which will also be placed along the eastern portion of the Serre Ferdinandee to screen the service rooms; the choice of the plants to be used\, climbing and others\, is the result of joint work between the Botanical Garden staff and the agronomist landscape architect Annachiara Vendramin. \nThe School of Botany\, originally built in 1859\, will instead undergo conservative restoration and consolidation; it will be refurbished to house a small botanical museum on the ground floor\, dedicated to the collections of herbals\, books\, prints and other botanical objects belonging to the University of Parma and other institutions\, in continuity with the cultural and popular line already set out in 2024 with the “Impronte – Noi e le Piante” exhibition. The upper floor will instead house the archive of herbaria and the rest of the historical book collections\, allowing them to be consulted\, which is currently precluded. \nFinally\, a technical room will be created in a portion of the basement of the Via Farini building for the district heating exchanger. The connection to the city grid replaces the construction of the originally planned geothermal plant\, guaranteeing a significant reduction in interference with the existing vegetation\, which is subject to protection. \n\nThe entire project is the result of the joint work of several competences present in the University\, in total synergy with the lines that are inspiring the refurbishment of the Museum of Natural History. In both museum structures of the University of Parma\, the intention is to express the depth of the relationship between people and nature in an integrated and user-centred key\, amalgamating in a single voice botanical\, zoological\, naturalistic\, landscape\, cultural\, historical\, aesthetic and social aspects that are often illustrated and experienced separately. Once this intervention has been completed\, the Botanical Garden will become a place of dialogue and aggregation\, capable of hosting events and educational courses to raise awareness of environmental\, cultural and scientific issues among the population. \n\nThe ultimate objective is to adapt the structure to the contemporary dynamics of scientific popularisation without losing its fundamental historical roots or botanical identity: from places for the mere conservation and exhibition of local and exotic plant species to platforms for communicating and discussing major issues with society\, in a reciprocal growth\, also through the dissemination of correct environmental education\, seeking to attract audiences on both a local and national scale.

SUMMARY:Until 31 January the travelling exhibition "Aree verdi di Ateneo – Gestione\, fruizione\, sostenibilità”
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years\, our university has made efforts to upgrade its green spaces\, improve their quality and integrate them more effectively into normal teaching\, research and third mission activities. \nSome of these actions are beginning to become visible\, such as the new styles of lawn care at the Science and Technology Campus. Of others\, the Botanical Garden for example\, building sites are becoming visible\, some of which are close to closure. In other cases\, work is underway to provide us with new rules for a management that is attentive to the needs of the environment and of anyone who directly or indirectly uses the University’s spaces. \nIn fact\, all the interventions correspond to a common and coordinated intent: to devote the right care to sustainability and improve the impact of our actions according to scientifically correct dictates\, while always keeping in mind the requirements of practicality\, usability and functionality typical of spaces for collective use. \nIt is a work that involves the Ateneo Sostenibile Group with concrete and guiding actions\, implemented and planned in several locations\, whose effectiveness cannot disregard the involvement of all the people who work and attend the University of Parma: lecturers\, technical-administrative staff\, students and students. \n“Aree verdi di Ateneo – Gestione\, fruizione\, sostenibilità” the title of the exhibition. \nFour totems\, which will also be exhibited in other University buildings during 2025\, will illustrate four different interventions in different locations and typologies\, but united by a single vision and a common thread: care\, study and use of grassy areas (also with circularity criteria and Citizen Science actions); improvement of the energy performance of buildings through green walls and the creation of a living lab in the Engineering Department; regeneration of greenhouses\, buildings and the Botanical Garden. \nWhen: 16 December 2024 to 31 January 2025\nWhere: St. Elisabeth Centre – Science and Technology Campus \n

SUMMARY:"Community Specific Archive": until 6 October\, the exhibition at the CSAC
DESCRIPTION:Community Specific Archive collects a series of photographs by Paola Di Bello and a video-installation by Valerio Rocco Orlando born from the artists’ confrontation with the CSAC archive and with the students of the Three-year BA Program in Communication and Contemporary Media for the Creative Industries at the University of Parma The Community Specific Archive project was selected within the framework of the public notice PAC2022-2023 – Plan for Contemporary Art\, promoted by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture\, on the proposal of the CSAC Centre of Studies and Communication Archive – University of Parma. Through a series of workshops\, the artists developed a research based on self-awareness and knowledge sharing\, valorising the collection of the Study Centre and Communication Archive of the University of Parma as a trigger for the work. The result is a new production focused on the identity dimension of the territory\, capable of reflecting the instances and urgencies of local society.For this occasion Paola Di Bello and Valerio Rocco Orlando produced a series of works composed of static images and moving images capable of resonating with the archive\, the university and the city of Parma. The work expresses the synthesis of a participatory process flowing into a photographic production consisting of a series of collages\, the result of a visual dialogue with the students\, which draws on the photographic section used as raw material.\nThe archive comes out and returns to it revitalised and re-actualised. In parallel\, the video installation expresses the formal synthesis of a pedagogical methodology based on the practice of active listening\, on non-creative writing exercises and on dramaturgical and audiovisual reworking as a collective action. With the acquisition of this new corpus of works from the Centre’s heritage\, the hope is to provide a useful key to penetrate and reread the complexity of the archive itself\, in order to prolong its life by mending ties with the everyday life of its inhabitants. For the occasion\, a publication published by Silvana Editoriale will be produced. In addition\, as part of the project\, on Tuesday 17 September 2024 at 11 a.m.\, in the Mulas Lecture Hall of the University of Parma\, a round table on the topics discussed will be organised in the presence of the artists\, the curator and researchers Guido Mannucci and Kevin McManus. Exhibition curated by Cristina Casero. \nPaola Di Bello (Naples\, 1961) is an artist and Professor of Photography at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts\, where she directs the Photography Department. Her research well represents the trajectories that photography has taken in the last thirty years\, directing its interests towards installation-based operating methods\, the result of the hybridisation between the conceptual vocation of previous generations and the social investigation that sees man and context at the centre of its interests. \nValerio Rocco Orlando (Milan\, 1978) is an artist\, lecturer in Multimedia Dramaturgy at the Brera Academy and doctoral student in Architectural and Urban Planning Engineering at the Sapienza University of Rome. Through practices ranging from workshops to video installations\, his research takes art as a process of mutual analysis and knowledge and explores the osmosis between institutions\, museums\, academia and the social sphere. \nParticipants: Wafa Arfaoui\, Silvia Balzarini\, Jacopo Botto\, Simone Cangiati\, Marzia Carpitella\, Giulia Conte\, Gaia Conti\, Gabriele Dalla Grana\, Vladyslava Dovzhyk\, Alice Dugaria\, Liam Falleri\, Rachele Ferrari\, Claudio Magnano\, Dominique Montanari\, Sofia Piana\, Alexia Piazza\, Chiara Solari. \nQuando: 14 September – 6 October 2024 \nDove: CSAC – Abbey of Valserena – Via Viazza di Paradigna\, 1 – Parma

SUMMARY:Until 1 September the exhibition  'Ugo Sterpini: l'ecart absolu' opens at the CSAC
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “UGO STERPINI – l’écart absolu” It was inaugurated on Saturday 15 June at the CSAC of the University of Parma\, in the Sala delle Colonne of the Valserena Abbey. \nThe exhibition explores the profound connection between the artist and the Surrealist movement\, on the occasion of the centenary of the movement’s foundation: Sterpini’s interest in Surrealism pervades much of his artistic career\, as demonstrated by his personal library\, full of critical texts\, plays\, novels and poems that nourished his imagination. \nThe works on display date mainly from the early 1960s\, a period when Sterpini was closest to the movement in which he actively participated and was considered among the official members\, as documented by his correspondence with André Breton\, Jose Pierre and Arturo Schwartz. \nTra le opere esposte\, Primavera insidiata del 1964 segna l’incontro con Breton e mostra evidenti influenze surrealiste. The 1966 series Fantasia Feminilil  mixes elements of Pop Art and references to  Xavièr Gauthier’s ‘Surrealism and Sexuality’\, exploring eros as the driving force behind the Surrealist movement. \nAlong the way is The Throne of Ubu\, a work exhibited among the Surrealist ‘meubles’ at the last major exhibition dedicated to the movement in 1965 in Paris\, and a selection of furniture with anthropomorphic features from the same period. \nThe exhibition concludes with a screening of the Surrealist short film Un chien andalou by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí\, made in 1929 and reworked in 1960\, which well represents the dreamlike\, delirious and psychoanalytic themes typical of the movement. \nSterpini’s affiliation with Surrealism\, although apparently late\, is profound and dictated by a genuine desire to know and share the movement’s fundamental principles. \nSterpini leaves behind an important artistic legacy with works donated to the Communication Studies and Archive Centre of the University of Parma\, which preserves a fund of over one hundred works and a selection of volumes from his personal library. In 2003\, CSAC dedicated a major monographic exhibition to him. \nUGO STERPINI – l’écart absolu\nby Giulia Ferrari  \n16 June – 1 September 2024\nCSAC Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione dell’Università di Parma\nAbbey of Valserena\nStrada Viazza di Paradigna 1\, 43122 Parma \nMuseum opening hours:\nFriday 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.\nSaturday and Sunday 10 am-7pm \nEntrance:\nFull price ticket 10 euro\nFor info and reductions: https://www.csacparma.it/visita/ \nFor information and reservations:\nCSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione dell’Università di Parma\ncsac@unipr.it\nservizimuseali@csacunipr.it\n+ 39 0521 903649

SUMMARY:"Planimetrie naturali": the exhibition at the CSAC until 9 June
DESCRIPTION:Opened in the Sala delle Colonne of CSAC the photographic exhibition “Planimetria Naturali: Ghirri\, Giacomelli\, Guerzoni\, Archivio”\, curated by Paolo Barbaro and Margherita Zazzero. \nStarting from the knot between nature and artifice\, controlled figurative action and the form of the uncontrollable or the unconscious\, a small sample of works from the CSAC archives is presented with the common suggestion of the conventional representation of territory\, the plan\, the map\, matter and time that transforms. The exhibition will feature works by Mario Giacomelli and Luigi Ghirri\, two very different and in many ways opposing researches on the landscape\, so much so that they appear as mirror images\, but with sometimes coinciding outcomes. These parts of important photographic research are juxtaposed with the work ‘The Forgotten Wall’ that Franco Guerzoni donated to the CSAC in 2004\, on the occasion of the exhibition dedicated to him. \nCompleting the exhibition are digitised images taken from gelatin bromide glass negative plates from the Villani and Publifoto archives\, which\, due to their state of preservation\, had been piled up waiting to be disposed of; these materials\, usually considered as -scrap-\, were recovered by the CSAC together with the rest of the respective archives. \n“Planimetrie naturali” \nCurated by Paolo Barbaro and Margherita Zazzero \nOpening: Saturday 11 May\, 5 pm\nExhibition opening: 11 May to 9 June 2024\nWhere: CSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione\nAbbazia di Valserena\nStrada Viazza di Paradigna\, 1\, 43122 Parma

SUMMARY:'Caring: heritage\, waste and identity': International Museum Day - 18 MAY 2024
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the ‘International Museum Day 2024’ proposed by ICOM\, following the theme ‘Museums for Education and Research’\, CSAC proposes an afternoon of workshops and insights for all ages. This year’s theme focuses on the fundamental role of cultural institutions in promoting and ensuring an increasingly inclusive\, sustainable and informed educational experience\, supporting Goals 4 and 9 of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. \nThrough workshops and events\, our aim is to make CSAC an increasingly dynamic and accessible centre\, demonstrating how a conscious enjoyment of cultural and artistic heritage can actively contribute to the promotion of the well-being of the individual\, the environment and society. \nThe programme: \nSATURDAY 18 MAY \n3 p.m. \nGuided tour of the exhibition ‘Planimetrie Naturali: Giacomelli\, Ghirri\, Guerzoni\, Archivio’\, a photographic exhibition on landscape research in the second half of the 1970s. CSAC presents a small sample of works with the common suggestion of the conventional representation of territory\, of the plan\, of the map\, of the translation into image of the territory as indissoluble\, of matter and time that transforms. The materials on display range from photographic collections by Mario Giacomelli\, Luigi Ghirri and Franco Guerzoni’s majestic work ‘The Forgotten Wall’\, donated by him. There will also be a series of projections of digitised images from the Publifoto Roma and Villani archives. \n4 p.m. \n“HAVING CARE: Heritage\, waste and identity” workshop: In this workshop\, each participant will have the opportunity to experiment with self-representation through different media: we will start with photography\, move on to synaesthetic drawing\, and conclude with painting and collage. We reason about the fragmentation of identity and the re-evaluation of the gap as a possibility for the discovery of the unexpected. \nThe workshop is free  of charge and open to all\, with reservations at servizimuseali@csacparma.it \nFREE ENTRANCE to the museum and current exhibitions from 10:00 to 19:00

SUMMARY:“Visioni (im)possibili. Comunicazione\, utopia\, progetto in the CSAC collections". The exhibition until 21 April
DESCRIPTION:It is called Visioni (im)possibili the starting exhibition of a three-year collaboration linking the Communication Studies and Archive Centre – CSAC of the University of Parmaand the Municipality of Parma – Culture Department. A project that starts with a focus on the 1960s seen “in Bauhaus terms” and then unravels over the next few years to the 1970s and 1980s. \nAt the heart of the initiatives are the inexhaustible collections that CSAC can boast\, an extraordinary treasure trove of more than 12 million items. \nFirst stage Visioni (im)possibiliin a format that will be repeated in the next two years: a double exhibition\, one at the Valserena Abbey (CSAC headquarters) and one in a municipal exhibition space\, each offering a different interpretation of the title\, in a virtuous ping-pong game played on the red thread of the visual arts. \nAt Palazzo Pigorini\, right in the historic centre\, from 20 January to 24 March is the scene Visioni (im)possibili. Spazio\, luce\, movimento in the CSAC collections.\nAt Valserena Abbey\, from 21 January to 21 April\, Visioni (im)possibili. Comunicazione\, utopia\, progetto in the CSAC collections. \nThe exhibition at Palazzo Pigorini is dedicated to works of kinetic\, programmed and visual art\, all playing on the interaction between space\, light and movement. La mostra esplora\, attraverso le raccolte CSAC\, le ricerche artistiche che si sono affermate nel panorama nazionale e internazionale tra la fine degli anni Cinquanta e gli anni Sessanta e che hanno posto al centro della propria attività il rapporto tra arte e tecnologia\, la dimensione progettuale e il lavoro di gruppo\, proponendo nuovi metodi di visione del reale e una relazione attiva tra opera e spettatore.\nThe selected works\, created by some of the leading Italian and international exponents of these trends (Getulio Alviani\, Davide Boriani\, Ennio Chiggio\, Gianni Colombo\, Hugo Demarco\, Gabriele Devecchi\, Juraj Dobrović\, Horacio Garcia Rossi\, Enzo Mari\, Manfredo Massironi\, Bruno Munari\, Grazia Varisco)\, include both static works that generate optical effects and thus convey an idea of dynamism to the viewer\, as well as aesthetic and interactive objects that give rise to real movement through the use of electric motors and light sources. In mostra molti lavori riferibili al contesto della celebre esposizione Arte Programmata. Arte cinetica\, opere moltiplicate\, opera aperta (1962)\, curata da Munari e Giorgio Soavi nei negozi Olivetti di Milano\, Venezia e Roma. \nL’esposizione dell’Abbazia di Valserena riflette\, in prospettiva storica\, su quale sia stata l’eredità del Bauhaus\, della sua lezione che pone la comunicazione visiva al servizio della società. Grazie alla ricchezza delle collezioni CSAC\, ne è scaturito un percorso di rilettura della sperimentazione creativa in particolare degli anni Sessanta\, un momento in cui l’arte\, la moda\, la fotografia\, l’editoria e la progettazione si sono sempre più confrontate a vicenda\, in una dimensione caratterizzata da una forte attenzione al sociale\, spesso carica anche di tensioni utopiche. Si va dal superamento dell’informale – con l’intento prioritario di riportare l’opera d’arte in una relazione stretta con il pubblico\, invitato a “mettersi in gioco” nell’esperienza estetica – alle influenze pop\, optical e spaziali nella moda\, fino alla produzione in serie con i nuovi materiali plastici e alle nuove tendenze del disegno progettuale.\nIn mostra i lavori di alcuni dei più illustri artisti\, designer e progettisti di quegli anni: da Lucio Fontana a Enrico Castellani\, da Gio Pomodoro a Bruno Munari\, e poi Mario Schifano\, Giosetta Fioroni\, Enzo Mari\, Luigi Veronesi\, Franco Grignani\, Mario Giacomelli\, Carlo Cisventi\, Pier Luigi Nervi\, Roberto Sambonet\, Gio Ponti. \nVisitors will also be able to make use of an app\, realised by CSAC and previewed on the occasion of this exhibition\, which will accompany them along the route\, facilitating access to additional and in-depth content\, which can be activated in reading\, audio and LIS language mode from personal devices and free of charge. The app was developed by CSAC as part of a PNRR project on accessibility\, welcoming and sharing museum heritage funded by the Ministry of Culture. \nBoth exhibitions (Valserena and Palazzo Pigorini) are accompanied by an Electa catalogue\, on sale at the CSAC and in bookshops (€ 62) \nThe exhibition in Palazzo Pigorini is free\, the one in Valserena has a charge. I visitatori di Palazzo Pigorini potranno ricevere gratuitamente una cartolina lenticolare\, che darà diritto a uno sconto alla mostra di Valserena. \nINFO \nVisioni (im)possibili\nSpazio\, luce\, movimento in the CSAC collections\nby Alessandra Acocella and CSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione\nPalazzo Pigorini\, Strada della Repubblica 29/A\, 43121 Parma\nExhibition opening: 20 January – 24 March 2024\nOpening hours: Wednesday – Sunday 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. (last entrance at 6.30 p.m.)\nFree entry\npigorini@comune.parma.it\nwww.comune.parma.it/cultura \nVisioni (im)possibili\nComunicazione\, utopia\, progetto in the CSAC collections\nby CSAC – Centro Studi e Archivio della Comunicazione Università di Parma\nAbbazia di Valserena\, Strada viazza di Paradigna 1\, 43122 Parma\nExhibition opening: 21 January – 21 April 2024\nOpening hours: Friday 9 am – 3 pm\, Saturday and Sunday 10 am – 7 pm\nEntrance charge\nfull price 10 €\ndiscounted 5 € (with Pigorini postcard)\nstudents 5 €\nschools 3 €\nservizimuseali@csacparma.it\nhttps://www.csacparma.it/\nYou can also follow CSAC on FB and Instagram\n#csac #newbauhaus #europe

SUMMARY:Walter Albini: the exhibition until 14 April
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition\, which opened at the CSAC in October\, can be visited until 14 April. \nThe exhibition reconstructs Albini’s work from the beginnings to the last collections made in the very early 1980s\, through a selection of materials from the Walter Albini Archive Fund held at the Csac. \nThe Csac in fact possesses one of the most exhaustive and heterogeneous archival fonds of the stylist\, comprising some five thousand design materials; donated in1983 by Paolo Rinaldi and in 1988 by Marisa Curti\, it covers a chronological span from around 1967 to 1982. \nThe materials range from youthful sketches\, which already present the designer’s poetics\, to preparatory sketches and drawings for the design of the Collections. In addition to these objects\, the exhibition will feature a selection of photographs intended for the promotion of the collections\, fashion show photographs and advertising material.

SUMMARY:Botanical Garden closed for restoration
DESCRIPTION:The Botanical Garden is closed for the start of restoration and enhancement work. \nTwo interventions will affect the Botanical Garden area in the coming months: \nThe historic garden enhancement project\, financed under the PNRR project ‘Programmi per la valorizzare l’identità dei luoghi: parchi e giardini storici‘\, by the Ministry of Culture.The work\, which concerns the landscaping of the garden\, is aimed at respecting biodiversity while minimising water and energy management costs. The leitmotif of the intervention is consistency: the vegetation\, naturalistic and environmental needs of the plants prevail over other aspects and the entire garden must be able to act as a ‘botanical embassy’ of the area\, as a platform for dialogue to reinforce education in a non-anthropocentric observation of the world.\nThe project takes into utmost consideration the ecological and naturalistic requirements of the site\, minimising soil consumption and reducing the impact on the root systems in the garden. The work includes the resurfacing of paths\, the construction of an irrigation system\, the creation of new flower beds with low water requirements\, the landscaping of rockeries and wetlands\, and the building of a new greenhouse to display the succulent collection\, which cannot be visited today.\nThe project is by A+C_Architettura e Città Studio Associato \nThe project to restore the historic greenhouses and the Botany School\, which benefits from a fundamental impulse by ‘Parma\, io ci sto!‘\, is co-financed by the University of Parma\, the Ministry of University and Research\, the Cariparma Foundation and the Chiesi Group.\nThanks to sponsors\, the Ferdinandee Greenhouses (dating back to the end of the 18th century) and the 19th-century Botany School will be restored and reinstated. The latter building will house the historical herbarium collections\, the historical library and a small botanical museum. The Bourbon greenhouses will be restored to their original structures\, with the elimination of posthumous structures and a return to the original design of the Petitot School. The new installations will ensure maximum energy savings. The spaces will not only house plants\, but will be multifunctional buildings that can also be used for exhibitions and events. Next to the Serre Ferdinandee\, new public services\, cafeteria\, meeting place\, bookshop will be opened.\nThe project is by Studio Canali Associati \nThe projects were presented on Monday 29 May in the historical headquarters in Strada Farini in the presence of the Rettore\, Paolo Andrei\, of Mayor Michele Guerra\, the Scientific Director of the Botanical Garden Renato Bruni\,of the President of Fondazione Cariparma Franco Magnani\, the President of ‘Parma\, Io ci sto! Alessandro Chiesi and Giovanna Usvardi\, Global Communication & External Relations Head of the Chiesi Group\, and of course the designers Guido Canali and Paola Cavallini\, representing Studio Canali Associati and A+C_Architettura e Città Studio Associato. \nWhen: from Monday 24 July until the conclusion of the work. \n
