The programme of events of the museum network will also touch on the Museum of Science and Territory and the Mining Museum. On Sunday 9 July, to coincide with the ‘Festa dei Boschi’ (Forest Festival), the artist Giulia Mangoni (Isola del Liri, 1991) will propose a project halfway between an exhibition and a workshop, in collaboration with the operators of Int.Geo.Mod. and Hyla, the two organisations that run the Science and Territory Museum. Il Soffio del Gatto (The Cat’s Breath), this is the title of the project, envisages the realisation of paintings and sculptures inspired by the Museum’s background, which will be exhibited for a few hours in the Sacred Wood of Monteluco; on the same day, Giulia Mangoni will lead a life drawing workshop, aimed at observing the landscape and surrounding nature. At the end of the day, the materials produced by the artist will be donated to the Museo delle Scienze e del Territorio.

Starting on 29 June, the posters of the Insieme Miniera project will be on display. The initiative stems from the desire to ‘bring’ the Mining Museum closer to the city, starting with the posting of a number of posters in various places in Spoleto. The photographer Serafino Amato (Rome, 1958), invited by the association Amici delle Miniere (Friends of the Mines), took a series of shots during a picnic held at the Museum in recent weeks: one of the images will be used for the poster, trying to show the potential of the place, its ability to attract and characterise itself as a space for aggregation and meeting between different generations, between memory and future projection.

All the events are characterised by the desire to unite the different venues of the network through the direct intervention of contemporary artists. Through this programme, the network of the Municipal Museums of Spoleto intends to characterise itself as a platform dedicated to research, dissemination, encounter and experimentation, focusing on collaborations between artists, institutions and associations active in the city and beyond. The programme, which will start at the end of June, will accompany the public throughout the summer, until autumn.
