MantovaScienza

The city of Mantua, a UNESCO gem nestled among lakes, will become the stage for a unique celebration: the tenth edition of MantovaScienza, a festival that combines scientific rigour, accessible dissemination and the magic of historic sites. For ten days, Renaissance palaces such as the majestic Palazzo Ducale and the evocative Teatro Bibiena will be transformed into interactive laboratories, conference theatres with international luminaries and spaces for immersive experiences.

A rich programme, designed to engage all types of visitors. The conferences will feature Nobel Prize winners and world-renowned researchers, ready to discuss cutting-edge topics such as the ethics of artificial intelligence, innovative solutions for environmental sustainability and the latest discoveries in the medical field. For families and children, hands-on workshops will offer practical experiences: from building educational robots to simulating spectacular chemical reactions, all designed to spark curiosity.

There will also be scientific shows, where technology and storytelling come together: 3D projections will take the audience on a journey through the solar system, while interactive theatrical performances will reveal the secrets of genetics. Thematic exhibitions, set up in iconic locations, will use augmented reality and multimedia installations to make complex concepts accessible to everyone.

The event is ideal not only for science enthusiasts, but also for those who want to discover Mantua in a new light. Visitors can stroll through centuries-old squares admiring temporary exhibits, take part in guided tours linking Renaissance art to scientific discoveries, or simply enjoy the unique atmosphere of a city that breathes innovation for ten days.
