SUMMARY:A Sparkle in the Shadows. Artistic Revitalization of Outlying Areas.
DESCRIPTION:The Academy of Fine Arts of L’Aquila presents “A Sparkle in the Shadows\, ” an ambitious cultural regeneration project that is part of the L’Aquila Capital of Culture 2026 program. Curated by Prof. Maurizio Coccia\, in collaboration with Profs. Matteo Ludovico and Gianni Moretti\, the project transforms contemporary art into a tool for social engagement\, capable of shedding light on the neglected corners of marginalized areas and breathing new life into the urban landscape.   \nThe project draws inspiration from Guido Piovene’s vision of the city as a “fragile and luminous” presence\, presenting a series of visual installations—sculptural\, light-based\, and textual—that make the Accademia’s architecture a constant symbolic landmark. The program is enriched by a 24-hour performance marathon\, musical events dedicated to young people\, and film festivals\, creating a space for continuous experimentation. Through the works of twenty artists from the Visual Arts two-year programs\, the Academy opens itself up to the neighborhood\, transforming public thoroughfares into spaces of collective experience and identity. This “sparkle” thus becomes a concrete act of empowerment\, aimed at strengthening the bond between institutions\, the local area\, and the community.    \nSCHEDULE\nMonday–Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. | Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. \nFREE ADMISSION

SUMMARY:Earth - The Planet Through the Five Senses | INGV Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:As part of the program for L’Aquila 2026\, Italian Capital of Culture\,the INGV—National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology —presents Earth—The Planet Through the Five Senses\, an interactive and multisensory exhibition created to mark the 25th anniversary of the INGV’s founding\, designed for the general public\, families\, and schools. \nThe exhibition itinerary guides visitors on a journey of discovery through the Earth system—its internal structure\, geological evolution\, natural hazards\, and climate change—using the five senses: smell\, taste\, touch\, hearing\, and sight. Interactive thematic stations\, installations\, and exhibits allow visitors to smell the scents of the planet and space\, touch rocks\, fossils\, and 3D models\, hear the roar of an earthquake and the sound of an iceberg\, observe the propagation of seismic waves\, and admire an authentic meteorite on loan from Sapienza University of Rome.  \nAmong the most extraordinary experiences are the Vibrating Table\, which physically simulates the ground vibrations of a real seismic event; the Theremin\, which allows visitors to “listen” to the Earth’s magnetic field; and Mātrā – The Song of the Planet\, an audiovisual work by Filippo Gregoretti that transforms geophysical data from INGV monitoring stations into music. Thanks to collaborations with organizations that have long been active in the field of museum accessibility\, the exhibition is designed to be as inclusive as possible\, ensuring that every visitor\, regardless of their abilities\, can explore and understand geophysical phenomena through barrier-free pathways (including Braille panels in the section dedicated to sight\, and haptic vests next to the Mātrā installation to experience the music as a tactile-sensory experience).  \nThe exhibition will be open to the public with free admission starting Wednesday\, July 8\, according to the following schedule (valid through September 13): \n\nWednesday\, Thursday\, and Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (last admission at 6:00 p.m.);\nSaturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (last admission at 12:00 p.m.) and from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (last admission at 6:00 p.m.);\nSundays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (last admission at 12:00 p.m.).\n\nThe exhibition will be closed during the week of Ferragosto (August 12–16)\, on Wednesday\, August 19\, Wednesday\, August 26\, and Friday\, August 28 (Perdonanza Celestiniana). \nFrom mid-September through October 29\, “Terra – The Planet Through the Five Senses” will be open to the public free of charge according to a schedule currently being finalized: groups of more than 8 people are asked to make a reservation by emailing info@ingv.it.

SUMMARY:Sensitive Forms – A Narrative of a Landscape
DESCRIPTION:“Sensitive Forms” \nadaptive and interactive sculptural-musical work\, \nby Licia Galizia and Michelangelo Lupone\nwith the contribution of\nGSSI Gran Sasso Science Institute\nin collaboration with\nGSSI Computer Science Area\, led by Prof. Patrizio Pelliccione\nCRM Music Research Center – ETS\nPAC Contemporary Art Project\nThe Gran Sasso Science Institute Visitor Center is hosting “Forme Sensibili – Narrazione di un paesaggio”\, a sculptural-musical work created by artists Licia Galizia and Michelangelo Lupone in collaboration with the GSSI’s Computer Science department\, the CRM – ETS Center for Musical Research\, and PAC – Contemporary Art Project\, supported and promoted by the City of L’Aquila. \nThe installation takes the form of an abstract landscape in constant transformation: every gesture\, every touch\, and every visitor’s presence influences the work’s sound component\, giving rise to ever-changing and unique sound and visual configurations. The work also engages in a dialogue with the cosmos: a muon detector —which detects high-energy particles constantly traversing space—translates their passage in real time into light and sound pulses that become part of the composition. An experience in which art\, science\, and human presence merge into a single sensory narrative in perpetual flux. Visiting hours: Monday–Friday 3:00 PM–7:00 PM (closed August 13–19).   \nFREE ADMISSION.

SUMMARY:City of Foundation
DESCRIPTION:The project aims to organize a series of conferences focusing specifically on the founding cities of the Apennine region of central Italy (including L’Aquila\, Leonessa\, Cittaducale\, and Cittareale)\, with in-depth analyses of the historical\, legal\, economic\, and commercial contexts within which these cities were founded. A concluding workshop will focus on contemporary urban planning issues. To round out the lecture series\, the project plans to organize a program of guided tours of the towns covered\, with a special focus on lesser-known towns\, in order to promote the growth and diversification of tourist flows along more niche itineraries.

SUMMARY:Architectures for entertainment and performance yesterday and today
DESCRIPTION:The project intends to focus attention on particular categories of buildings that characterize the cities of Abruzzo and Lazio: entertainment buildings. This particular category of buildings\, since ancient times\, seems to have had a special role in society\, manifesting a particular relationship between the population and central and local power. The project includes in-depth and performative activities in ancient and modern entertainment buildings scattered between the provinces of L’Aquila and Rieti (amphitheater of Amiternum\, amphitheater of Trebula Mutuesca\, Flavio Vespasiano theater in Rieti) with particular interest in ancient female cults attested mainly in Luco dei Marsi\, S. Anatolia di Borgorose\, S. Angelo di Civitella di Pescorocchiano\, S. Vittoria di Carsoli\, the so-called Baths of Cotilia in Cittaducale\, S. Vittoria in Monteleone Sabino\, Lucus Feroniae in Capena.

DESCRIPTION:As part of the program for L’Aquila 2026\, Italian Capital of Culture\, the MuBAq – L’Aquila Children’s Museum presents *The Little Garden of the Muses – Mosaic Art for Shared Regeneration*\, an exhibition of mosaic works by artists from the Ravenna area\, curated by art critic Antonio Gasbarrini. \nThe project began as an *opus musivum* —a work of the Muses—with the aim of fostering the civic regeneration of an urban green space through the beauty of mosaic art. The mosaic works—a millennia-old art form rooted in the great Italian decorative tradition—interact with the surrounding natural environment\, transforming an urban green space into a place for contemplation and shared cultural engagement. The exhibition is part of the “L’Aquila 2026” vision\, which places the regeneration of public spaces and community participation at the heart of its cultural program\, restoring vibrant and beautiful places to the city. The opening will take place on August 10 at 6:00 p.m.; the exhibition will be open to the public through September 5.

DESCRIPTION:The project features an exhibition of works by a selection of students from the Academy of Fine Arts in L’Aquila\, accompanied by a series of temporary events. It is a group exhibition that is diverse and heterogeneous in terms of the media and artistic languages used. The project will make use of existing on-site structures\, but will also feature light and/or sound installations to complement the existing infrastructure. The aim is to revitalize the site while also highlighting its distinctive characteristics—both perceptual and symbolic—which define it due to its topographical location and morphological structure. Side events are planned\, such as musical evenings\, book presentations\, and film screenings. Each of these will be organized in collaboration with local entities (individuals\, associations\, bookstores\, etc.) in the city.
