Back for its second year, "La Frazione del Tempo" is the festival that turns Panicaglia and San Giovanni Maggiore into an open-air laboratory dedicated to time: science, memory, philosophy, and creativity. On Saturday, October 10th in San Giovanni Maggiore, the evening opens with a contemporary dance performance, an apericena, and a sky observation guided by an astrofilo. On Sunday, October 11th in Panicaglia, the day mixes a conference on time measurement, workshops to build sundials and autobiographical writing, corn threshing demonstrations, a traveling planetarium with projections, old-time games, and an exhibition of objects from yesterday and today. An opportunity to slow down and rediscover the rhythm of the hamlets between science and tradition.
