Beginning on the 6th of November 2025 the lecture series “Meeting at the Bassano Museum. Museums, Exihibition, Restorations”, now on its third edition, will resume at the Museo Civico of Bassano del Grappa. 

On the occasion of the Giovanni Segantini exhibition, the first four events will be dedicated to the artist and the cultural environment in which he worked, together with leading experts on Segantini's art and its artistic, musical and philosophical context.

In addition to these first events, eight more conferences will take place between January and May next year, for a total of twelve exciting lectures exploring the world of art and its protagonists. Among the guests there will be museum directors, curators and renowned scholars that will introduce us to masterpieces, artists and movements from all of history, to major exhibitions and to some of Italy's most important museums. 

The cycle of conferences is curated by Mario Guderzo.

Promoted and organized by: Comune and Musei Civici of Bassano del Grappa
With the support of: Rete Biblioteche Vicentine

All lectures will be held in Italian.
