Crossroads of Europe: Basagliani Itineraries - The City of Madmen

‘The City of Madmen’ is a project dedicated to the centenary of Franco Basaglia's birth and offers immersive historical and cultural visits in Gorizia's Basaglia Park, in the spaces that hosted the genesis of the Basaglia revolution and that still today are its memory.   The itinerary is made up of stages, delimited by interactive installations, real life-size silhouettes, equipped with a QR code; with the help of a guide, who will accompany visitors along the route, it will be sufficient - either with one's own smartphone or through tablets provided - to frame the code to view the multimedia insights linked to it and referring to the stage/place visited. The proposed contributions, with a contemporary artistic slant, are realised starting from the analysis of the historical documents contained in the archives of the former psychiatric hospital of Gorizia; they are multimedia works developed through mixed production techniques, such as sound reconstructions, narrative montage sequences, docufilms, short films and even 3D animations realised with the use of photogrammetric scanning. Visitors are advised to come equipped with smartphones for reading QR codes and headphones. Explanation in Italian.   Meeting point at the entrance to Basaglia Park Departure at 10 a.m. and at 2 p.m. (repeated) Duration: 1h 30' approx.   Free participation with compulsory booking: crocevie.europa@comune.gorizia.it For information: Tel. 0481 383420
