A double appointment at the Cinema Sala Pegasus, with the presentation of Alessio Carciofi’s book Digital Detox and the documentary Lo and Behold – Internet: the future is now by Werner Herzog.
An actual “Digital Day” is being organized by Cinema Sala Pegasus and Coworking Spoleto for 16 March. Two appointments to elaborate on the Internet, social media, communication and web marketing, organized with the support of the City of Spoleto.
But, how?
To start with, Spoletan digital strategist and CEO at Digital Detox Alessio Carciofi, will introduce his last book “Digital Detox. Focus and productivity for managers in the era of digital distraction”, published by Hoepli and on sale from 10 March.
The meeting, scheduled at 18.30 at the Cinema Sala Pegasus, will start with a simple, yet challenging question: “What can actually be considered a luxury nowadays?”, which will serve to analyze the values of attention, time and silence, and put them in relation with each other. “Today we’re still convinced that we pay everything through money, but the true currency is the time we can no longer enjoy – wrote recently Alessio Carciofi on the Huffington Post – the true revolution is the relation with time, that very time that flees us as flies away while on a smartphone. The time has come for us to start reflecting on our behaviour and find a new balance”. In his presentation, Alessio Carciofi, who has been dealing with marketing, digital communication, and working for some of the most famous Italian tourism brands since 2009, will face the theme of the Digital Felix, a new method that informs enterprises on the theme of in-company well being.
The second appointment is at 21.00, also at the Cinema Sala Pegasus, and will focus on the projection of the documentary “Lo and Behold – Internet: the future is now”. The vision of German director Werner Herzog’s last work will be introduced by Alessio Carciofi, and will be another occasion to try and understand the Internet’s development, its most charming and contradictory aspects, its future and the limits imposed by being constantly online.
Saturday, September 9th at 17.00, at Casa Menotti, writer Rino Alessi will present two biographical books dedicated to two great interpreters who performed at Spoleto’s Festival of Two Worlds: Bonaldo Giaiotti and Giuseppe Patanè.
Saturday 21 October at 11, at the sala Barberini by the Diocesan Museum, Monica Paggetta’s book dedicated to the frescoes by Jacopo Siculo at the church of Madonna di Loreto in Spoleto will be presented. Book curator Sergio Carrivale will lead the discussion, that’ll feature speeches by publisher Jean Luc Bertoni, art historian Giordana Benazzi and journalist Anna Maria Petrova-Ghiuselev.
Jacopo Siculo nella Chiesa della Madonna di Loreto a Spoleto is published by Bertoni Editore, in collaboration with the Spoleto Diocesan Museum and the Premio Minerva Etrusca Perugia.
Presentation of the book ” Tu con me” by Roberta Salvati and Veronica Fermani, preface by Catena Fiorello.
Presentation of the book Spoleto Cinema 1969-1971. Myth and Myths of the Seventh Art in the City of the Festival by Antonella Cristina Manni.

On Monday, January 22th, Irene Baldriga – President of ANISA, Italian Association of Art Historians – will present her book The Right to Beauty, a reflection on art and landscape education as a vehicle for active citizenship values.
The book presentation will take place at Spoleto Public Library, at 16.00.
