Scents and aromas bring with them memories and sensations that weave through the fabric of our minds, linking past experiences with our present-day life. At the crossroads of science, art and history, the conference explores the bond between smell and memory, revealing how our brain—even without our awareness—gathers and preserves countless amounts of information. For fragrance is far more than a fleeting recollection; it is a bridge of connection, a subtle language through which we share something of ourselves with others.
The conference will be held in Italian and French with simultaneous translation.
It will take place at the Auditorium. Entrance: Prato della Valle 57/C.
