Educational activities and guided tours
Telù is a cultural venue with strong links to the region and the communities of Basilicata
The service is aimed at users, students, teachers, the general public, academics and enthusiasts in this field, offering historical and scientific information as well as guidance on best practice to be adopted in the event of natural disasters, thereby creating – through a network-based approach – a cohesive community focused on prevention.
The exhibition has been organised to improve access to the CGIAM’s heritage, understood as a cultural venue with strong links to the local area and the communities it serves. Therefore, whilst the exhibition is designed to permanently enrich the Centre, it has been conceived so that it can, if necessary, be moved or replicated in other cultural venues. Furthermore, the exhibition is in keeping with the Centre’s mission, its history, the bibliographic heritage preserved there, and the promotion of the research activities carried out over the years on the subject of seismic risk and natural disasters in general.

“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”.
