Brat, fratello, brother. Giuseppe Ungaretti, 1968 – Laurea ad Honorem

UNGARETTI IN TRIESTE IN 1968: "WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE BROTHERS"

The proposed initiative originates from the from the speech delivered by Giuseppe Ungaretti on February 15, 1968, during the conferral of the Honorary Degree in Literature by the University of Trieste.

Based on the principles expressed by the poet in his speech, an artistic installation has been created, aimed at communicating how peace needs to be nurtured by the warmth and closeness of people. 

It seeks to make the observer an active participant, not a passive spectator, but a builder of the meaning of peace. The installation will be presented in a traveling format in three symbolic locations of World War I, a conflict that Ungaretti experienced firsthand on the eastern front: Trieste, Gorizia, and the Karst.

The initiative is travelling, the first stop is Gorizia, the second San Martino del Carso, the third Trieste.
