The new issue of Aisthesis is online

August 2026.

The new issue of "Aisthesis. Discovering art with all the senses" explores poetry, art, accessibility, emotions, and the experimentation of languages. At the heart of the contributions is the individual experience and the search for new forms of interaction with art and cultural heritage.

Monica Bernacchia guides us through the Orto sul Colle dell’Infinito in Recanati, a site deeply connected to the poetry of Giacomo Leopardi. The article explores an experience where poetry, nature, and multisensoriality meet, focusing on the "Beyond Sight" tour and the tactile tools created by the Museo Omero to make the venue accessible to people with visual impairments.

Costantino D’Orazio reflects on the museum as a genuinely inclusive space capable of placing humanity, emotions, and the visitor's experience at the center. Drawing on the work of the Galleria Nazionale dell’Umbria, he presents AIfeelGNU, a generative AI application that offers personalized museum itineraries based on a person's emotional state.

Giulio Segato reviews the "Super Pignotti" exhibition, hosted at the Mole Vanvitelliana to mark the centenary of Lamberto Pignotti, a leading figure in international visual poetry. The article highlights his artistic research and the ongoing dialogue between word and image, poetry and visual communication.

Closing the issue, Manuela Alessandrini presents "Corpo a corpo" (Hand to Hand), an educational project by the Museo Omero that transformed the body into a medium for knowledge, expression, and connection. Through sculpture, touch, photography, clay, and collage, the experience guided participants along a path dedicated to self-awareness and emotional education.

The magazine is narrated by Luca Violini and is also available in English and Spanish.
