The web and the communication which pass through it are the most discuss theme of this era, everything is evolving around us. The language and the ways to express are a very dynamic topics, you could compare them to the sea, one day calm and the other rough with the ripples of the waves that mark its surface.
In the same maritime scenery as it is Camogli will take place the third edition of The Communication Festival from the 8th to the 11th of September. The event it was though and realized by Rosaria Bonsignorio e Danco Singer. The theme that unifies the meetings, workshops, labs for kids, expositions and shows is in fact the World Wide Web.
“Pro e contro del Web” ( the advantages and disadvantage s of the Web) this was the title of the conference that the perished semiologist, philosopher and writer Umberto Eco should have presented during the Festival. Eco actually took a lively part in the organization of the Festival together with Bonsignorio and Singer: story tells that he would have wrote on a napkin the outline of the first edition during a private and friendly meeting with them. He really loved Camogli: he used to prolong his staying in the hamlet, at Hotel Cenobio dei Dogi, over the days of the Festival.
Thanks to the realization of this event Camogli became the center of the communication in Italy, a virtual square where is possible to discuss cultural and technological topics. It will actually be a real square as the experts of this sector will keep their speeches all around the hamlet itself. The lecturers are 122 and this year will be possible to hear each and every one of them for free.
