the marionannischolé opens the 2026/2027 academic year in bologna and marks the beginning of the master programme viaggiandopercostruirsi, with fattidiluce: two days of study open to everyone, dedicated to the culture of design, to light and to dialogue across disciplines.

two days to listen, to engage in dialogue, to connect experiences and knowledge.

the teachers of the marionannischolé are designers, architects, artists, professionals and scholars from international fields and contexts, and over these two days they will engage in dialogue around the themes that form the foundation of the school and its way of understanding design.

at the marionannischolé, designing means first of all observing, learning, asking questions, experimenting and innovating.

it means learning to look at what surrounds us and to build relationships between light, space, matter, people, technique, art and culture.

from this vision comes the figure of the scrittoredellaluce, the progettistauniversale that the marionannischolé seeks to form: a designer capable of moving across different disciplines, connecting forms of knowledge that may appear distant and using light as both matter and language of design.

fattidiluce will be a moment of dialogue on the contemporary meaning of designing: on the relationship between knowledge and know-how, between thought and matter, between craft tradition and experimentation, between technique and poetry.

the two days will be shaped around the principles that accompany the educational path of the marionannischolé:

passing on sharing knowledge, experiences and tools so that knowledge can continue to transform.

passing on
sharing knowledge, experiences and tools so that knowledge can continue to transform.

questioning
challenging what seems already defined, changing one’s point of view, continuing to ask “why?” and, above all, “why not?”.

experimenting
learning through making, testing intuitions, understanding matter through direct experience, accepting doubt and error as part of the design process.

innovating
building the new from knowledge, bringing memory and future, technique, culture, sensitivity and imagination into relation.

at the marionannischolé, theory and practice are not separate. knowledge passes through direct dialogue with the masters, but also through hands, materials, places and experience.

the school thus becomes a contemporary workshop: a place where different disciplines and generations work together and where knowledge is not simply passed on, but continuously questioned, tested and transformed.

and only when all the arts come together can enchantment be reached and everything becomes poetry, poesiadiluceuniversale.
