The new edition of Genius loci. Where does genius live?, the festival scheduled in Rome until Sunday 2 August to transform the city into the capital of science, in a historic moment in which research is once again demonstrating its central role for society.
The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) participates in the event, organized by the cultural association Open City Roma, with Terrae Motus, a tour that traces the history of the capital through its earthquakes, from that of 443 AD which brought down the central nave of the Basilica of San Paolo to that of 847 AD which destroyed the obelisk of Montecitorio. Exceptional guides for INGV researchers and architects, to travel through history, architecture and science and discover what it means to develop an "informed scientific citizenship".
For its third edition The genius of the place he chose the theme of environmentalism 
scientific: thirteen guided tours, three visits on online platforms, three workshops, performances, exhibitions and a web-series to allow everyone to explore (in presence and virtually) the places in the city usually reserved for researchers and actively take part in a great celebration of scientific research and technology.
