Educational activities and guided tours

Telù is a cultural venue with strong links to the region and the communities of Basilicata

All interested visitors – students, teachers, academics and enthusiasts of the subject – are offered a service aimed at disseminating historical and scientific knowledge, as well as information on best practices to adopt in the event of natural disasters, thereby creating – through a network-based approach – a cohesive community focused on prevention.

The exhibition has been designed to improve access to the CGIAM’s heritage, understood as a cultural venue with strong links to the local area and its communities.

The exhibition layout is organised in such a way that it can be moved or replicated in other cultural venues if necessary. It also builds on the CGIAM’s mission, history and bibliographic heritage, highlighting the research carried out over the years on seismic risk and, more generally, natural disasters.

Ritratto di Sandro Pertini

“I have always tried to understand why this unstable land, by distracting us from our games and carefree days, so often brought us face to face with harsh reality […] we live in one of the areas with the highest historical seismic activity in Italy […] I have tried, as far as I am able, to gain as much insight as possible into a problem as old as the world itself: that of earthquakes”.
