Publishing date: 8 October 2026 Immagine notizia Immagine Paragrafo Peace is not merely about ending armed conflicts: it also concerns how people live together, social relationships, economic systems, and our relationship with the environment and technology. This broader perspective provides the starting point for the new edition of “Fare pace con il mondo. Nella radicale complessità del reale” (Making Peace with the World: In the Radical Complexity of Reality), a series of events that will bring six scholars to Como between 16 October and 20 November to explore some of the most pressing issues of our time.The initiative is promoted by the City of Como and the University of Insubria, which will host the events at its Sant'Abbondio campus, Via Sant'Abbondio 12, in collaboration with the Il Paguro Cultural Association.The programme was presented at Palazzo Cernezzi in the presence of Mayor Alessandro Rapinese, Councillor for Events Chiara Bodero Maccabeo, and City Council President Fulvio Anzaldo.
