On Wednesday 19th April<\/strong> 2023, at 7:00 p.m., in the Atrium of St. Peter’s Basilica, we will host the academic inauguration of the School of Arts and Crafts of the Fabric of St. Peter<\/strong>, promoted in collaboration with the Fratelli tutti Foundation<\/em>.<\/p>\n The event, moderated by Antonio Preziosi<\/strong>, director of Rai Parlamento, will be opened by H.Em. Card. Mauro Gambetti<\/strong>, President of the Fabric of St. Peter and the Fratelli tutti Foundation,<\/em> with institutional greetings by the Minister of Culture, Hon. Gennaro Sangiuliano<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The key note speech<\/em> will be delivered by Mario Cucinella<\/strong>, architect, designer and academic, founder of MCA – Mario Cucinella Architects, who will address the students and the guests present on “Digital artisans of architecture and design. Thinking with your hands’.<\/p>\n \u00abOver the centuries, hands – explains Cucinella – have contributed to handing down culture and knowledge; they have given life to thoughts, translating them into form; they have built the new, they have taken care of our cultural heritage; they have restored damaged things, thus enabling them to survive over time; they have brought history down to us and will drive it into the future. Schools are essential to care for the handcrafted knowledge<\/em>, to teach how to use old and new materials and new techniques that support the craft skills and knowledge; and last but not least, they are essential to spread this knowledge in time and space ensuring consistency between the past, present and future\u00bb.<\/p>\n \u00abThe reflection presented by arch. Cucinella on “thinking with your hands” – underlines Card. Gambetti – focuses on an integral dimension of education, which knows how to reconnect speculative and practical knowledge: the School of Arts and Crafts of the Fabric of St. Peter wants to offer students a virtuous model in this too, establishing a dialogue and combining technique and technology, arts and theory\u00bb.<\/p>\n The inauguration will also be attended by Mrs. Assunta Di Sante<\/strong>, scientific head of the School, and Prof. Nicoletta Marconi<\/strong> (University of Rome Tor Vergata), lecturer and scientific advisor.<\/p>\n Father Francesco Occhetta, Secretary General of the Fratelli tutti Foundation<\/em> and Director of the School of Arts and Crafts, will conclude the event.<\/p>\n The academic inauguration will also be an opportunity to present the curricula of the next cycle in the presence of both faculty and students.<\/p>\n To participate in the event, please register at the following link: http:\/\/bit.ly\/3KetqrE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15228,"template":"","tags":[],"categories":[215,212,241],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
