“Talk and Toast” – Italy and Scotland: Shared Celtic Memories

What truly connects Italy to Scotland? Archaeologist Alba Serino invites us on a compelling journey through time to explore how the past—and the physical traces it leaves behind—continues to shape the way we understand the present.

Blending archaeology, history, myth, and cultural identity, this conference reveals a shared heritage that stretches from the Mediterranean to the Highlands. Long before modern borders, the Celts left their mark on landscapes, languages, beliefs, and traditions in both Italy and Scotland, forging connections that still resonate today. Through material evidence and ancient narratives, including the accounts of Latin authors, we uncover how these interconnected worlds influenced one another in ways often overlooked or forgotten.

This is not only a story of the past, but a reflection on identity, memory, and the enduring links that continue to shape Europe’s cultural fabric.
