Journals of Physics and Metaphysics no. 3 – The Shape of Italy
01.03.2026, 06:00 PM - 07:30 PM
The Journals of Physics and Metaphysics are an in-depth periodical publication dedicated to topics related to the Cerruti Collection. The first three issues are edited by critic and essayist Andrea Cortellessa, who also conceived the title and its dual approach. Each issue of the Journals addresses a specific theme from two perspectives: “physics”, in the sense of scientific, philological and historical analysis of the works, and “metaphysics”, in the sense of philosophical and narrative reflection.
The third issue, The Shape of Italy, tackles the subject from different perspectives, including essays by Raffaele Bedarida and Stefano Chiodi, an unpublished story by Helena Janeczek and a contribution by artist Alessandra Ferrini.
