Cultural Visit
2019-02-28
We are very fortunate to live so close to Milan and to have a real expert on hand to guide us. This month, Cristina has organised a guided tour for IWCL
members of the exciting and brilliant BANKSY exhibition, again at the MUDEC (Museo delle Culture) on Via Tortona.
After lunch, Cristina will accompany us to one of the most exciting shopping areas of Milan, so that we can enjoy some ‘retail therapy!’ By popular request, we have not included an afternoon museum visit, to allow more free time in Milan!
NB – we must book by 10 February to take advantage of a group rate.

“Epigenetics: the conscious choice of one’s own reality”
In recent years, many scientific discoveries have demonstrated unequivocally that we are not exclusively predetermined at the genetic level as traditionally thought. Our way of thinking and nourishing ourselves and our emotions have a huge impact on the control of our genes, on our cells and consequently on our state of health. With Dr. Francesca Pistollato we will try to understand how these mechanisms of regulation take place and how we can best influence them with appropriate choices, with the awareness that our psycho-physical well-being depends also, and above all, on us.
Francesca Pistollato graduated in Biology from the University of Padua, where she obtained a PhD in Developmental Sciences and Programming Medicine. She has worked in the neuroscience sector both in the United States and later at the University of Padua. She is currently working at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (Ispra, Varese) on alternative methods to animal testing in toxicology and biomedical research. She is the author and co-author of numerous scientific publications, scientific books, and presentations at national and international conferences. Amongst her works, the book on the topic of her talk is “Epigenetica: La Scelta consapevole della propria Realtà” (available only in Italian).
