Where Memory Lives: Books, Paintings and Images Across Time

5 Piazza della Sapienza Pistoia

Tuesday, 03 November 2026 from 04:00 PM to 05:30 PM

Two talks explore how books, painting and devotional imagery preserve memory across time. Alberto Coco examines a copy of Cesare Pavese’s Dialogues with Leucò, while Francesca Rafanelli traces historical and iconographic representations of death and remembrance.

A small collection of prayer books will also be displayed. Curated by the Friends of the Forteguerriana Library.
