Umberto Galimberti at the Roman Theatre of Verona: a journey into the madness of love

On September 29th, the historic Roman Theatre of Verona will serve as the backdrop for a profound philosophical exploration. Umberto Galimberti will present his lecture “The symbolic underlying the madness of art and the madness of love,” a highlight of the Festival della Bellezza.

The evening will delve into the Greek concept of mania, the sacred madness inspired by the Muses and Aphrodite, which lifts the human soul toward the divine. Drawing on Platonic thought, the philosopher will guide the audience through an analysis of romantic rapture, framed as the ultimate yearning for beauty that transcends earthly concerns.

As one of the most respected contemporary thinkers, Galimberti brings his deep expertise in cultural anthropology and moral philosophy to Verona. This event follows the success of his recent appearances across Italy, offering a unique opportunity for attendees to engage with the wisdom of the Greek tradition within one of the city’s most evocative venues.
