The 2026 edition was dedicated to the centenary of Lady Walton’s birth\, celebrating her life a nd her fundamental role in the creation of the La Mortella Gardens.\nThe f inal meeting of the season\, scheduled for Thursday\, 22 October at 7:00 p .m.\, brings this series of in-depth explorations to a close with a focus on the history of gardens\, examining the relationship between the patrons who commission them and the artists who give shape to their vision.\nThe featured speaker will be Giulia Caneva\, Full Professor of Environmental a nd Applied Botany at Roma Tre University\, who will deliver a lecture enti tled Wonder\, Power and Love: Raphael and the Meaning of Nature in Renaiss ance Europe.\nAt the heart of the lecture will be the celebrated Loggia of Cupid and Psyche at Villa Farnesina in Rome\, frescoed by Raphael and Gio vanni da Udine for the exceptionally wealthy banker and patron of the arts Agostino Chigi. Conceived as a magnificent painted pergola\, the Loggia i s an extraordinary celebration of nature\, but also an expression of its p atron’s prestige\, artistic taste and aspirations. At the same time\, thro ugh the myth of Cupid and Psyche\, it evokes the theme of love in both its marital and erotic dimensions. Garlands of fruit\, flowers and leaves fra ming the vaults create an ideal connection between the outdoor garden and the interior rooms of the palace\, offering a depiction of nature of excep tional richness and variety.\nThe Loggia is\, in fact\, a veritable botani cal catalogue of the Renaissance\, featuring a surprising number of plant species from different regions of the world known at the time. Particularl y noteworthy is the presence of plants native to the Americas\, depicted j ust a few decades after Columbus’s voyages: one of the earliest artistic t estimonies to their introduction into Europe.\nThrough an analysis of this extraordinary work\, Giulia Caneva will guide the audience in discovering the symbolic\, artistic and scientific meanings of nature during the Rena issance\, demonstrating how art and botany can work together to deepen our understanding of the history and culture of an era.\nThe event will take place in the Museum Hall of the La Mortella Gardens. Following opening rem arks by the Foundation’s President\, Alessandra Vinciguerra\, Professor Gi ulia Caneva will deliver her lecture. The meeting will be moderated by Dr Mariangela Catuogno\, Scientific Director of the Kepos Project. https://ww w.ischiaeventi.com/en/events/cultura/event/249835-project-kepos-wonder-pow er-and-love DTSTART:20261022T170000Z DTEND:20261022T190000Z LOCATION:Giardini La Mortella (Via Francesco Calise\, 39 - 80075 Forio NA\, Italia) SUMMARY:Project Kepos: Wonder\, Power\, and Love URL:https://www.ischiaeventi.com/en/events/cultura/event/249835-project-kep os-wonder-power-and-love END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20261022T150544UTC-7598EsjBlw@https://www.ischiaeventi.com/ DTSTAMP:20261022T150544Z DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPOSTPONED TO FRIDAY\, OCTOBER 23 – DUE TO A W EATHER ALERT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \;\n\nTHE SEASIDE VILLAGE\nANTONIAN A PUBLIC LIBRARY Rampe di Sant’Antonio\, 5 – Ischia\nThe “Pietro Greco” An toniana Municipal Library\, the Ischia Cultural Park and Il Borgo di Mare \nWEDNESDAY\, 21 OCTOBER AT 6:00 PM\npresent the book\nISCHIA AND THE BAY OF CARTAROMANA: STORIES\, RESEARCH AND STUDIES\nEdited by A.

Professor Ciro Esposito will be in co nversation with the author\, and Dr Lucia Annicelli will moderate the even t.\nWe look forward to seeing you!\nIn the narrow streets and courtyards o f the Rione Sanità\, there are people who know the future before it happen s. Or so believe those who knock on the door of Consuelo\, the most famous and feared fortune-teller in the neighbourhood.\nIntelligent and ruthless \, for years she has instilled the slow poison of fear in her clients — al ready fragile and desperate people — simply for the pleasure of watching t hem come back to her. But rumours begin to spread\, and someone stops beli eving her. Then\, one afternoon\, the cards fall silent forever. Consuelo is found dead in her apartment.\nFather Raffaele has recently returned to Sanità after forty years away. He has a suspicion he does not even dare to voice: that his brother Peppino\, one of the most feared crime bosses in the neighbourhood\, may have been involved in the fortune-teller’s death. \nBut Peppino is not the only suspect. One by one\, Raffaele questions Con suelo’s clients\, men and women who had sought comfort in her and instead found an enemy.\nThe culprit moves undisturbed among the district’s histor ic buildings and Baroque churches. And in Sanità\, the truth is like laund ry hanging out to dry on terraces: all it takes is a gust of wind for it t o fly away.\nRaffaele must grasp it before it vanishes — even if that mean s putting family ties\, his faith and everything he thought he knew to the test.\nAbout the author\nAnna Vera Viva is an Italian writer. Originally from Salento\, she moved to Naples in 1982. She has been writing for many years and is also a screenwriter for documentary films and short films\, i ncluding La consegna and Specchio delle mie brame\, both nominated for the David di Donatello Awards.\nWith Garzanti\, she has published Questioni d i sangue (2022)\, the first instalment in Father Raffaele’s investigations \, and L’artiglio del tempo. Un mistero tra gli oscuri vicoli di Napoli (2 023).\n#biblioischia #bibliotecaantonianapietrogreco https://www.ischiaeve nti.com/en/events/cultura/event/251155-biblioteca-antoniana-presents-le-ca ttive-stelle-under-bad-stars DTSTART:20261024T160000Z DTEND:20261024T180000Z LOCATION:Biblioteca Antoniana (Rampe S.Antonio\, 5\, 80077 - Ischia) SUMMARY:Biblioteca Antoniana Presents: Le cattive stelle (Under Bad Stars) URL:https://www.ischiaeventi.com/en/events/cultura/event/251155-biblioteca- antoniana-presents-le-cattive-stelle-under-bad-stars END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
