Two lectures, both open to the general public, will be held during the inauguration evening: one by Arch. Francesco Taormina (University of Roma, Tor Vergata), the coordinator of the project, on the subject "Planning by empty spaces", and one by Arch. David Cassuto, on the theme "Aspects of Southern Judaism before the expulsion". The urban renewal project of the Small Harbor of Syracuse has been seen in various prestigious locations, among which the MAXXI museum in Rome (2011), the Santa Croce monastery in Bisceglie (2011), at the World Congress of Design and Architecture in Tokyo (2011) and in the Italian Pavillion at the Yeosu Expo, in South Korea (2012).
