Elogio dell’ignoranza e dell’errore. Gianrico Carofiglio

On Thursday April 16, 2026, at 9:00 PM at the Teatro Celebrazioni, the show Elogio dell’ignoranza e dell’errore (In Praise of Ignorance and Error) by and with Gianrico Carofiglio will be staged.

Blaming mistakes and stigmatizing ignorance are considered virtuous practices. Necessary ones.
But things, perhaps, are not quite so simple.

Drawing on anecdotes, science, sports, and thinkers such as Machiavelli, Montaigne, and Sandel, as well as figures like Mike Tyson, Bruce Lee, and Roger Federer, writer Gianrico Carofiglio explores the joy of conscious ignorance and the extraordinary opportunities that arise from recognizing our mistakes, learning—when possible—to benefit from them.

An unexpected reflection on two words that do not enjoy a good reputation. A cheerful celebration of our humanity.
