About the event

The City of Como and the Università degli Studi dell'Insubria, in collaboration with the cultural association Il Paguro, present a series of six lectures on the major currents of contemporary thought and on peace, approached through its many cultural, social and historical forms.

The series grew out of the urgency of the subject. It offers the community a chance to reflect in depth on what peace means, understood not simply as the absence of war.

Entry is free. The lectures take place on Fridays, from 16 October to 20 November 2026. The programme lists speakers from the universities of Milano Bicocca, Pavia, Insubria (Como and Varese) and Oxford Brookes.
