The “Mauro Francaviglia” Cultural Association brings together people and initiatives that revolved around the figure of Prof. Mauro Francaviglia, a world-class scientist, who passed away in 2013.
The Association intends to enhance and ideally continue all the scientific and cultural activities that involved Professor Mauro Francaviglia, especially research in scientific-cultural dissemination, between art and science but not only, in universities, research bodies and through scientific societies / associations / other of which he was founder and / or collaborator. Both the periods of stay at the University of Turin, the international activities and the last period (2002-2013) of his life, in which he chose to live and work in Calabria, will be valued.
The Association is committed to promoting interdisciplinary initiatives between Art and Science and technique.
