Tracce di Foliage: I segreti manifesti delle piante con Entropy for Life

The fourth edition of the exhibition Traces of Foliage takes us straight into the chaotic whirl of falling leaves. With “Leaves of Autumn” the focus is entirely on them, a natural element rich in meanings, capable of accompanying autumn reflections, when the colors that replace green tickle emotions and thoughts.

On Thursday, October 22 at 6:30 p.m. there will be "The Manifest Secrets of Plants with Entropy for Life", at the Municipal Auditorium, a show-conference by evolutionary biologist and science communicator Giacomo Moro Mauretto, Entropy for Life.

Plants are constantly around us and because of this, we tend to take them for granted. Yet, it is thanks to them that life has become so vast and abundant on the land. Behind their apparent simplicity lies a surprising biology, made up of ingenious solutions, evolutionary compromises, and physical mechanisms that are anything but intuitive. Some apparently trivial phenomena, such as the flow of water through the trunks, almost seem to challenge our intuition of physics; even the way they build their own bodies is paradoxical: a large part of their matter literally comes from the air that surrounds them but managing to nourish themselves is actually a feat. Through science, we will discover, together with Entropy for Life, that plants invite us every day with their exuberance to explore their secrets.
