26 August 2025

Anthropologist and sociologist Didier Fassin will not be able to attend the Festival della Mente for health reasons. The talk with Anne-Claire Defossez entitled "Orme invisibili. Cronache dalla frontiera alpina" ("Invisible Footprints. Chronicles from the Alpine Border") is therefore canceled.

On the same date, time, and in the same venue – Sunday, August 31 at 3:15 p.m. at the Teatro degli Impavidi – a new talk will take place featuring writer and journalist Gabriele Del Grande, entitled "Oltre la frontiera. Cronache dal futuro" ("Beyond the Border. Chronicles from the Future").

Event information is available here.

Tickets purchased for the event with Didier Fassin and Anne-Claire Defossez will be valid for admission to the talk with Gabriele Del Grande. Those who wish to request a refund may apply at the festival box office at the Teatro degli Impavidi in Sarzana, if they purchased a paper ticket. Those who purchased tickets online will receive an email from Vivaticket with instructions on how to request a refund.
