From Friday 4 to Sunday 6 September, in Castiglione del Lago and Isola Polvese (PG), "Einsten's Island" returns: three days of experiments, insights and games for curious people of all ages on the suggestive banks of Trasimeno .
The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology obviously does not miss the event organized by Psiquadro and will lead children and young people up to 99 years of age to discover our planet, entering the heart of the earth's crust, volcanoes and earthquakes.
There are many scheduled appointments with INGV, from fascinating scientific experiments to meetings with researchers.
Starting from the book "Earthquake and seismic risk" the seismologists Maria Grazia Ciaccio and Giovanna Cultrera will answer the most curious questions “Why do earthquakes occur? How and where do they happen? How do seismic waves propagate? Using examples and practical demonstrations, they will dialogue with the public addressing the theme of "seismic danger", trying to give meaning to the expression "seismic risk".
With the seismologist Alessandro Amato, with the book 'Under our feet', he will accompany the public on a time journey through the history of earthquakes and attempts to predict them.
You can't miss 'Vulcano Mania', the game with which you can simulate the most common volcanic eruptions on Earth and ask scientists everything you want to know about the eruption of volcanoes and no one has ever explained to you.
In another exciting appointment, the researcher Nunzia Voltattorni will show us how to explain earthquakes to children and how to teach them life-saving behaviors. We will then know the story of "Giuseppa and the dragon Tremotto", a Japanese theater (butai-kamishibai) and a puppet-dragon that makes the sweets disappear!
To guarantee the public a weekend of fun to be experienced in complete safety, all scheduled appointments require online booking, activated on the website

INGV takes part in the Einstein Island, the festival of intelligent fun
From Friday 4 to Sunday 6 September, in Castiglione del Lago and Isola Polvese (PG), "Isola di Einsten" is back: three days of experiments, insights and games for curious people of all ages on the suggestive shores of Trasimeno.
The Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology does not miss the event, organized by Psiquadro, and will lead children and young people up to 99 years to the discovery of our planet, entering the heart of the earth's crust, of volcanoes and of earthquakes .
The appointments scheduled with INGV are many, from fascinating scientific experiments to meetings with researchers.
Starting from the book "Earthquake and seismic risk" the seismologists Maria Grazia Ciaccio and Giovanna Cultrera will answer the most curious questions “Why do earthquakes occur? How and where do they take place? How do seismic waves propagate?". Using examples and practical demonstrations, they will dialogue with the public addressing the theme of "seismic hazard", trying to give meaning to the expression "seismic risk".
The seismologist Alessandro Amato, with the book 'Sotto i nostri piedi”, will accompany the public on a time journey through the history of earthquakes and the attempts to predict them.
Impossible to miss 'Volcano Mania', the game with which you can simulate the most common volcanic eruptions on Earth and ask scientists everything you want to know about the eruption of volcanoes and no one has ever explained to you.
In another exciting event, researcher Nunzia Voltattorni will show how to explain earthquakes to children and how to teach them life-saving behaviors. We will then know the story of "Giuseppa and the Tremotto dragon", a Japanese theater (butai-kamishibai) and a little dragon-puppet that makes sweets disappear!
