All events of the program of the May of 2018 Monuments in Naples with exhibitions, guided tours, festivals, readings and meetings!
Il May of the 2018 Monuments in Naples, as anticipated by some events in April, is entirely dedicated to Giambattista Vico on the occasion of the 350 years that have passed since his birth. The Neapolitan philosopher will be the intrinsic guide in every initiative and the program of events will take place from 28 April to 3 June in the Vichian places between theatrical performances, conferences, readings, exhibitions, guided tours and multimedia installations.
To celebrate Giambattista Vico, one will also be installed large statue of ten meters of papier-mache which will represent the philosopher precisely and will be positioned in Piazza Municipio.
There are also many associations that participated in the implementation of the program and, among the most interesting events, there arel Book fair, BaccalaRe on the Lungomare, the May of Music and the Festival of light for Naples.
