The presentation of the book and the project will be held on Thursday 24 November in the Sala Tevere of the Lazio Region in Rome An Anthropocene Museum in the Appia Antica Regional Park, by Dr.Victor Pavoncello.
The project involves the construction of a widespread museum in the ex-quarry of the Fabretti Foundation, which supplied the cobblestones for the construction of San Pietro and the Imperial Forums, and will be a meeting place as well as a laboratory for scientists and the public, interconnected with the museums of Anthropology, Ethnology, Physics, Space Physics and Astrophysics.
The event will begin at 15:30 and will see, among others, the intervention of the Director of the Environment Department of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), dott. Massimo Chiappini.
Among its activities, INGV includes the monitoring, research and development of actions aimed at preventing and mitigating not only natural calamitous events, but also environmental disasters attributable to man. During his speech, Dr. Chiappini will talk about the study of indicators of pollution levels in cities carried out through the analysis of specific plants, the techniques for verifying treaties for nuclear safety, non-proliferation and disarmament, as well as the contribution that INGV provides to the study of climate change.
The Anthropocene Museum collects the history of man's impact on planet Earth and will be the first space of this type in the world, representing an international model and resource.
