The earth trembled and the sky opened (Dante, Inferno, Canto VII)
October 29: aAppointment in the square with INGV
October 30: aactivity for schools
More than a year after the seismic sequence that hit Central Italy, the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) meets citizens and students of Amatrice to present the results of the work carried out by the Institute during these months, the seismic history of area, the prospects for research on earthquakes and the latest news on reconstructive techniques in the building sector. Two days of conferences, seminars, meetings and scientific cafés.
After the Venice Film Festival 2017, the documentary by Gianni Amelio will be screened in Amatrice Someone else's house, shot and dedicated to the city of Rieti, produced by Bartleby with Rai Cinema. Gianni Amelio returns to the set for the first time to present his work to the city. The Producer Massimo Di Rocco and the Rai Cinema Institutional Relations Manager Carlo Brancaleoni will be present.
An informative path will describe the Institute's activities during the emergency, curated by the INGV operational and research groups. We will talk about the geological effects produced on the surface by seismic events and those of the site linked to the geology of the subsoil, the damage/resent, the displacements of the ground seen from a satellite and what happens during a seismic process. Ample space for maps and multimedia applications to tell the seismicity and seismic hazard of our territory.
Finally, visits to the Seismic Surveillance Room, reproduced inside the Tent of the INGV Seismic Emergency Operations Center, to get to know what seismologists do during the seismic surveillance service and learn how to locate an earthquake.
Sunday 29 October from 11.00 to 17.00 - Conference, Cinema Tent
To welcome the Mayor of Amatrice Sergio Pirozzi and the General Manager of INGV Maria Siclari.
The meeting will be opened by the President of INGV, Carlo Doglioni, who will introduce the seismic sequence of 2016-2017 and the contribution of INGV.
Moderated by Alfredo Di Giovampaolo, RaiNews24 journalist.
Speakers: INGV seismologists Romano Camassi and Giovanna Cultrera (Past earthquakes and site effects); the engineer of the University of Rome "La Sapienza", Sonia Giovinazzi (The seismic behavior of buildings and reconstruction techniques); the Director of the Earthquakes Structure-INGV, Daniela Pantosti (Prospects for research on earthquakes).
In the afternoon, meeting with the director Gianni Amelio and screening of his documentary Someone else's house (2017, 16 minutes), shot and dedicated to Amatrice, produced by RAI Cinema.
Afterwards, an appointment at the Scientific Café with the INGV experts.
Monday 30 October, from 9.30 to 16.30 - at the school and at the Cinema Tent
A program entirely dedicated to schools. In the morning, an appointment with the scientific high school students in the laboratory Invisible Cities. Freely taken from Italo Calvino's book of the same name, the workshop focuses on what the earthquake has transformed, concentrating on the concepts of memory, relationships, desires.
In the afternoon, introductory meeting on the "EDURISK per RIETI" project (Educational courses for risk reduction), aimed at teachers.
