Why Erice?
Erice, ancient village
The Ettore Majorana Foundation is located in Erice because physicist Antonino Zichichi, founder of the centre, chose the ancient village for its ability to foster intellectual engagement and reflection, using restored monasteries as venues for international scientific conferences.
Erice, thanks to its unique atmosphere, has become a centre for dialogue on science and peace, attracting scholars from all over the world for over sixty years.
