“Love Share – Love in the Age of Social Networks” is an event dedicated to love and eroticism at Villa Capriglio, on occasion of the “Innamorati della Cultura” night in support of culture, to be held on Valentine’s Day.

What is love like today in the age of file sharing? Where did I leave my rechargeable love battery?
