Mostra 'Gaetano Ponte (1876-1955), scienziato e fotografo siciliano'
Sala Parlatorio, Palazzo della Cultura, Catania
A retrospective dedicated to Gaetano Ponte, an emblematic figure of Catania's culture between science and art. The exhibition brings together photographs, documents and instruments that tell the dual soul of the professor: from pioneer of Italian volcanology to refined photographer, capable of documenting eruptions and Sicilian landscapes with scientific rigor and aesthetic sensitivity. The exhibition, hosted in the Sala Parlatorio of the Palazzo della Cultura, is part of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Ponte's birth and aims to restore the profile of a multifaceted intellectual who marked the history of the University of Catania and geophysical research in Sicily. On Friday, July 31 at 6:00 PM, the exhibition will be inaugurated with the presentation of the volume 'Gaetano Ponte (1876-1955). Scienziato e fotografo siciliano', an opportunity to delve into the figure of the man and his cultural legacy.
Hours: 09:00-13:00 and 15:00-19:00 Free admission Opening and book presentation: Friday, July 31, 2026, 6:00 PM
