The project was started by freelance journalist Valentina Tatti Tonni who involved citizens, associations, a cultural centre and a library in a non-political frame, to try and return value to the people and to establish the centrality of culture, listening, dialogue. Especially in he present historical period it is crucial that everyone claim and retake their rights, their duties and the universal values in mutual respect.
Art will start the agenda; two exhibitions will open on Friday 18 October 2019, that will remain accessible throughout 19 and 20 October: Visionarie, at 17 at the Sala Frau dedicated to “iconic female figures” by Maura Coltorti, and Saudade, at 18 at the Urban Center dedicated to photography and emotions.
