Piazza Maggiore - Indipendenza
"Heritage Meets the Future," the international conference dedicated to reflecting on the perception, use and care of the historical, architectural and landscape heritage of the city of Bologna, will be held May 17-18 in Bologna.
The conference celebrates the recognition of the Portici di Bologna as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and aims to initiate a discussion on the need to protect the historic urban landscape and question the role of UNESCO sites. The goal is to identify common strategies to preserve city heritages from the impact of challenges such as climate change or catastrophic events such as wars, but also ways to protect and enhance them in everyday life, promoting a sense of community and the active participation of citizenship in taking care of their heritage.
The program consists of two days:
Friday, May 17 | Cinema Modernissimo
Use, care and perception of the historic city: Bologna and its porticos
curated by Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna: the day will feature alternating talks by professors, scholars and researchers, followed by a round table discussion between Liborio Stellino, Permanent Representative for Italy to UNESCO, in dialogue with the Youth for UNESCO and doctoral students of the University of Bologna Architecture Course
Saturday, May 18 | Salaborsa Library
Global challenges, shared solutions
curated by the Municipality of Bologna, will bring together UNESCO site managers from the most important European cities awarded World Heritage status.
While at 12:30 p.m. in Piazza Maggiore there will be a ceremony to unveil the first UNESCO plaque on the stretch of porticoes of Palazzo d'Accursio in the presence of Jyoti Hosagrahar, Deputy Director of the UNESCO World Heritage Center.
