Elio Franzini and Emanuela Maccarani Discuss Body and Thought Harmony on Artribune Podcast

The Artribune podcast 'Contemporaneamente', curated by Mariantonietta Firmani, features a dialogue between Elio Franzini, philosopher and Rector of the University of Milan (UniMi), and Emanuela Maccarani, National Director of Rhythmic Gymnastics and Head Coach of the Senior Group National Team. The conversation explores the harmony between body and thought, the relationship between ethics and aesthetics, and the concept of diffuse aesthetics as a shared value. Franzini, who has been Rector of UniMi since 2018 and President of the Italian Society of Aesthetics (SIE) since 2015, discusses the social and spectacular aspects of life even in competitive contexts. Maccarani, who has won 170 medals in international competitions including the Olympic Games, World Championships, and European Championships, and serves on the board of the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI), emphasizes that gymnastic harmony arises from the fusion of movement and emotion.
