The concept of challenge, a central theme in the history of civilization and of the individual, is the subject of the international multidisciplinary symposium organized by Fondazione Prada in collaboration with the Casa Circondariale–Milano San Vittore prison.
Representatives from various fields were invited to the conference with the aim of comparing experiences, both personal and professional, that have contributed to the knowledge and study of dynamics associated with the concept of challenge. Both renowned and ordinary people told the audience their life experiences and how they broke rules in different disciplines: philosophy, law, psychology, psychoanalysis, genetics, art, theology, cinema, sexuality, sport, custom, medicine, architecture, maths, marketing, ethnology, politics, sociology, photography.
