The spectacular terrace of the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria is the ideal place to host endless journeys of knowledge between science, art, literature, music. In collaboration with the Planetarium Pythagoras, on Saturday 10th August, from 8.30 pm, the public of the MArRC will be able to participate in an exceptional event of contamination between science and art, for the extraordinary openings of the Summer Nights on Thursday and Saturday, from 8.00 pm to 11.00 pm , with special admission ticket for only 3 euros.

Master Giovanni Renzo will perform the multimedia concert of the opera “Atlas coelestis: Music and the Stars”, in the magical scenery of the Strait under the bright starry sky.

It is a collection of compositions – the author explains – to reconstruct in music the path of the telescope which Galileo Galilei observed the Sky by, in the night of  January 7th of 1610, when he discovered the four stars around Jupiter that questioned the theory geocentric of Ptolemy. It is a musical journey through space and time, to explore the cosmos to the most remote borders.
