Love of All Times - Lectures on love in antiquity

“Meeting Room”

Professors and experts unveil the true nature of love affairs in ancient societies with a narrative that intertwines archaeology and history, literature and philosophy, revealing a world that with curiosities, anecdotes and rigorous reconstructions holds for the audience the charm of a tale that is both far, extravagant and exotic, but also so incredibly close, almost autobiographic.  

From ancient Egypt to Etruria, from Greek to Roman culture, beyond stereotypes and false believes, Love of All Times is a moment for discovery and reflection that gives to the public the chance to follow a knowledge journey through the history of feelings beyond space and time.
