What is
Cogito
Aperitivo for the mind
Aperitivo for

Cogito is an open space for reflection on reality and its current cultural factors.
Cogito
is
an
open
space
for
reflection
on
reality
and
its
current
cultural
factors.
A “social defibrillator” marked by optimism and
appreciation of the Common Good. Starting from the
Cartesian expression cogito ergo sum and the certainty
that man himself is a thinking subject, Cogito strives for
shared critical reasoning, a “thinking together” in spaces of
exchange and growth.
Here is why we
“cogitiamo,” or think,
together: in
collaborative spaces, in
conversation with
writers, journalists,
intellectuals, artists,
scientists, and
professionals of the
creative world, through
audiovisual projections,
performances, theater,
exhibitions, and
tastings. Cogito seeks to
involve schools,
universities,
associations.”
Dubium sapientiae initium: Doubt is the
beginning of wisdom. Cogito reflects and
makes people reflect: on the future,
environment, technology, artificial
intelligence. Schools, books, and culture, art,
discoveries, and mysteries, start-ups. Food,
itineraries, family, universe, Italian-ness,
respect for the other. So many subjects that
we would like to explore with you.
WHY
Cogito aims to look at our reality in positive terms in
order for continuous improvement, to analyze cultural
phenomena to better understand them, and to create
spaces for cohesion and social interaction to make
opportunities for exchange. All while having fun.
HOW
CogitAzioni. Thinking and acting. A dynamic interview
between guest and interviewer, a topic that will be
debated and examined thanks also to the CogitAttori,
a group of actors who will guide the audience
through the discussion. On stage Salvo Piparo,
directed by Gigi Borruso. Thinking is followed by
doing: each participant can become a social multiplier
of an idea aimed at a collective goal. Cogito ergo, I do
something.
WHO
Created from an idea of Alberto and Francesca Tasca
d’Almerita to give appreciation to everything that
“lives” around the production system: the
environment, the landscape, the culture, and the
traditions of the community.
This “journey” takes form in the promotion of events
and cultural activities, to tell of all that is positive and
interesting, and that can help grow the local territory.
Organized in collaboration with Teatro Biondo, the real
“who” protagonist of Cogito is the public who can
become a social multiplier directed toward the
Common Good.
