Plants\, animals\, waterways — the e ntire environment was shaped by human activity\, while transformations in nature\, in turn\, influenced the lives of communities.\nProfessor Michele Campopiano’s book examines these changes in relation to economic and soci al developments\, exploring how medieval culture represented the interacti ons between society and the environment\, as well as humanity’s place with in the cosmos.\nFeaturing: Michele Campopiano\, Professor of Medieval Hist ory. https://www.ischiaeventi.it/en/events/cultura/event/249994-stories-ar chaeology-and-narratives-ancient-traces---earths-future DTSTART:20260531T163000Z DTEND:20260531T183000Z LOCATION:Torre del Molino (Spiaggia dei Pescatori\, 80077 Ischia NA\, Itali a) SUMMARY:Stories\, Archaeology and Narratives: Ancient Traces – Earth’s Futu re URL:https://www.ischiaeventi.it/en/events/cultura/event/249994-stories-arch aeology-and-narratives-ancient-traces---earths-future END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20260515T031236UTC-5594UO8raS@https://www.ischiaeventi.it/ DTSTAMP:20260515T031236Z DESCRIPTION:Francis of Assisi: The Suppressed Story\nParis\, year 1266. Bon aventure of Bagnoregio\, Minister General of the Franciscan Order\, orders the destruction of all biographies of Saint Francis of Assisi\, who had d ied forty years earlier.\nIn each of the nearly fifteen hundred convents o f the order and the four hundred monasteries of the Poor Clares\, the old biographies are replaced by a new one written by Bonaventure himself\, cal led the Legenda Maior (“Major Legend”). Monastery by monastery\, convent b y convent\, the earlier testimonies disappear from archives\, study center s\, and friars’ reading rooms. From that moment on\, the image of Francis becomes that of a simple\, uneducated friar.\nOnly centuries later\, in 18 90\, the Calvinist pastor Paul Sabatier began searching for the missing te xts — a stubborn investigation lasting decades that ultimately succeeded. \nChiara Mercuri reconstructs\, on the basis of unofficial sources\, the l ife and teachings of Francis. What emerges is a previously unseen portrait of a deeply cultured man\, resolute to the point of severity\, yet loving toward his companions — Leo\, Clare\, and the others — who together with him became the driving force behind an extraordinary season of spiritual r enewal. https://www.ischiaeventi.it/en/events/cultura/event/249995-stories -archaeology-and-narratives-francis-of-assisi-the-suppressed-story DTSTART:20260531T173000Z DTEND:20260531T193000Z LOCATION:Torre del Molino (Spiaggia dei Pescatori\, 80077 Ischia NA\, Itali a) SUMMARY:Stories\, Archaeology and Narratives: Francis of Assisi: The Suppre ssed Story URL:https://www.ischiaeventi.it/en/events/cultura/event/249995-stories-arch aeology-and-narratives-francis-of-assisi-the-suppressed-story END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20260515T031236UTC-55950rpd55@https://www.ischiaeventi.it/ DTSTAMP:20260515T031236Z DESCRIPTION:Through a unique musical language that combines barrels\, vats\ , and sickles with more traditional musical instruments\, the Bottari di M acerata Campania transform peasant rhythms into a vibrant and engaging art istic experience. Their music tells stories of hardship\, passion\, faith\ , and hope\, blending folk spirit with contemporary sounds.\nThe combinati on of these percussions and sound textures creates the distinctive style k nown as Pastellessa. The Battuglie di Pastellessa parade through the stree ts during the days leading up to the feast of Saint Anthony Abbot on Janua ry 17. The performers ride on floats built to resemble ships\, inspired by an ancient legend according to which Saint Anthony arrived from Africa by boat. Each year\, the entire community joins forces to prepare this event \, preserving a tradition that is over a thousand years old.\nLike the gro up STOMP\, the Bottari give musical value to everyday objects. The boundar y between musical instrument and work tool disappears.\nRhythm thus become s a universal\, ritual\, and relational language that engages and unites t he audience. https://www.ischiaeventi.it/en/events/cultura/event/249996-st ories-archaeology-and-narratives-the-bottari-di-macerata DTSTART:20260531T193000Z DTEND:20260531T213000Z LOCATION:Torre del Molino (Spiaggia dei Pescatori\, 80077 Ischia NA\, Itali a) SUMMARY:Stories\, Archaeology and Narratives: The Bottari di Macerata URL:https://www.ischiaeventi.it/en/events/cultura/event/249996-stories-arch aeology-and-narratives-the-bottari-di-macerata END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20260515T031236UTC-5596VU2rZF@https://www.ischiaeventi.it/ DTSTAMP:20260515T031236Z DESCRIPTION:Along the route from Buttavento to Monte Trippodi\, hiking guid e Denis Trani will accompany the group with music and songs from the Neapo litan and island traditions.\nDenis TraniTeacher and Environmental Hiking Guide (AIGAE)\nParticipation fee: €20.00 — “Festival Special”Booking: segr eteria@festival-storiae.it https://www.ischiaeventi.it/en/events/cultura/e vent/249997-stories-archaeology-and-narratives-excursion-from-buttavento-t o-monte-trippodi DTSTART:20260531T073000Z DTEND:20260531T113000Z LOCATION:Buonopane (Via Angelo Migliaccio\, 92\, 80070 Barano D'ischia NA\, Italy) SUMMARY:Stories\, Archaeology and Narratives: Excursion from Buttavento to Monte Trippodi URL:https://www.ischiaeventi.it/en/events/cultura/event/249997-stories-arch aeology-and-narratives-excursion-from-buttavento-to-monte-trippodi END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20260515T031236UTC-5597MUieSd@https://www.ischiaeventi.it/ DTSTAMP:20260515T031236Z DESCRIPTION:An exhibition from the graphic novel by Roberto Grossi\nGrossi addresses the crucial issue of climate change with powerful visual storyte lling and striking imagery: the most urgent threat of our time\, yet also the most widely denied.

This leads to rising average surface temperatures and increasingly frequent and intense marine heatwaves. At the same time\, the ocean functions as a “carbon sponge\,” a bsorbing about 25–30% of human CO₂ emissions.\nDuring this talk\, we will explore how this “double hit” is damaging marine biodiversity. Mediterrane an and oceanic case studies will be analyzed to understand whether the phy siological plasticity of local species will be sufficient to ensure ecosys tem resilience\, or whether we are moving toward an unprecedented biologic al simplification in Earth’s history.\nSpeaker:\nValerio ZupoPhD\, researc her at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn https://www.ischiaeventi.it/en/e vents/cultura/event/250016-stories-archaeology-and-narratives-buy-one-get- two DTSTART:20260503T160000Z DTEND:20260603T173000Z LOCATION:Torre del Molino (Spiaggia dei Pescatori\, 80077 Ischia NA\, Itali a) SUMMARY:Stories\, Archaeology and Narratives: Buy One\, Get Two!
