Over the course of three days, we intend to reflect on the place of the Table in the daily and festive life of the 17th and 18th centuries and to debate the ways in which the lines of thought of the Baroque are projected into contemporary times.

In addition to the talks, the congress will include a programme of Baroque music and visits to the Vale do Côa region, an archaeological site classified by Unesco in 1998 as a World Heritage Site.
