A fascinating journey into the heart of human language.
Language is one of the most powerful tools we possess: it connects us, defines us, makes us human. But how much do we really know about it? How often do we pause to reflect on its extraordinary complexity?

In this public talk, Professor Matteo Greco, linguist at IUSS Pavia, will guide us through the lesser-known and most surprising aspects of the world’s languages. From abstract structures to deep meanings and brain mechanisms, we will uncover the wonder of what makes human communication truly unique.

An evening for everyone — curious minds and language lovers alike — to explore together the hidden treasures of human language.
