Among other presenters, I am please to highlight Daniele Sanna, with whom I have been collaborating since 2001. For the book which will be presented, I have edited the maps displaying the location of medals awared to partisans, and the location of the “Gramsci” brigades during the war.

Considering other pibinko.org projects, we might say that we have been partly map(pear)ing the Cecina Valley and its spaces, even though in this phase there has been more mapping, compared to other work we do. Interestingly, in the same period and in the same area, I met various elements that helped me to launch new projects .
From 6.30PM to around 8PM come to Soul Food, via Gola 3 to…

To give you a mood for the event, “Dreaming about the Vatican”, JBCM cover, Nov. 1, 2018:
On May 16, 2019 in Brescia, Italy, there will be a conference concerning the interdisciplinary protection and promotion of night sky, elaborating on state of the art, action items, and visions.
The event is managed by the Department of Civil, Environmental, Architectural Engineering and Mathematics from the University of Brescia, the BuioMetria Partecipativa project -active since 2008 on the topics of the conference- and the pibinko.org network. This is composed by professionals with multiple years of international activity, and with a peculiar combination of expertise, intertwining culture, environment, open innovation, and arts.
The conference falls in the line of a recent series of initiatives developed in the context of a collaboration of the BMP project with the Italian Research Council’s Institute of Biometeorology and the Department of Biology at the University of Pisa, including an international symposium on the Island of Capraia in September 2018 and a national workshop in Florence in March 2019.
The conference will take place during the International Light Day celebrated by UNESCO, and has been accepted by the Charter of Architects and the Charter of Engineers in Brescia as valid for the issue of training credits.

Some plants are starting to blossom from the seeds planted in the past months, apparently with work done with the Third Farma Valley Winter Fest and the subsequent events, plus some new collaborations.
In the coming weeks more details will be provided for each single day. Meanwhile we encourage you to take note of dates and locations, or to write to info@pibinko.org for additional information. Also, if you browse the “news” section of the pibinko.org site you can get a feel for the activities leading to this series of initiatives (please note: we are a bit behind with the translations into English of the news, so you want to see the real action, just switch to the Italian version of the site and go to “notizie“).
