Culture grows thanks to exchanges. This is why the Centro Camuno, since its origins, has encouraged meetings and discussions among scholars and specialists in different disciplines in the Valcamonica Symposium.
The 26th Valcamonica Symposium, from 9th to 12th September 2015, follows this same outlook in a renewed manner under the direction of a new scientific committee.
The title, "Prospects on prehistoric art research: 50 years since the founding of the Centro Camuno", celebrates a long tradition of research in Valcamonica, opening up new prospects for study and collaboration.
