Sunday, April 3^rd in Città della Scienza, within the activities of the exhibition THE SEA, you can participate in a scientific coffee, free admission, to discuss and exchange views on the issues of next April 17^th referendum. The referendum question promoted by several Italian regions worried about environmental consequences and repercussions on tourism caused by the extension of the exploitation of hydrocarbon deposits within 12 miles away from the coast.

But is this true? What does the law and what can be repealed?
We listen to the reasons expressed by experts of the two sides. Città della Scienza wants to make people conscious and able to decide for themselves, on this controversial issue.
