Giorgio Parisi fills the Teatro D’Annunzio and closes the ninth edition of Lievito with an unexpected audience presence which gratifies the organizers. In the words of Renato Chiocca and the president of the Association Melia Mangano. With Giorgio Parisi, Nobel Prize winner for physics in 2021 for his study on complex systems, there is Gianni Morelli, scientific director of the event, and the title “Ordered complexity” is extremely correct: keys such as artificial intelligence, medicine are touched , of the relationship between scientific research and politics. Parisi reflects on how science and daily life are extremely connected, his are reflections on the complex times in which we live: the challenges of climate change, of artificial intelligence in its interaction with man, the possibility that this distorts reality by directing it. And when a child in the audience asks if he feels humble or puts on airs, Parisi replies “I try to seem humble, but maybe I’m not. But I’m handy.” At the end of the meeting he quotes one of his favorite films, “It’s a Wonderful Life” by Frank Capra. Because this evening intertwined science and cinema, much closer than you might think. “I wonder – says Parisi – if I hadn’t been there what would have happened. Here I believe that perhaps something would have gone differently.”
