Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 March: four events streamed on YouTube and Facebook
To mark International Women’s Day, the City of Spoleto has organised four events on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 March.
The programme, which can be followed by videoconference and in streaming on the social channels of the Authority (Facebook and YouTube), includes two conferences, a concert and a short film dedicated to Italian theatres.
The first appointment will be with Women in Institutions, a conference that will be broadcast live via streaming on the City’s YouTube channel (https://bit.ly/38alu7b) on Monday 8 March at 4 p.m.. The meeting, which will be coordinated by the deputy mayor and councillor for equal opportunities Beatrice Montioni and the councillor for culture Ada Urbani, will be attended by Paola Agabiti (councillor of the Umbria Region), Elisa Sabbatini (mayor of Castel Ritaldi), Roberta Galassi (school manager), Candia Marcucci (director of the Umbrian Reclamation Consortium) and Emilia Bellina (former President of the Court of Spoleto).
As part of the “Musica c’è” project, on Monday 8 March at 6 p.m. there will be a concert entitled Women in music by the teachers of the “A. Onofri” Spoleto School of Music and Dance with Mariangela Campoccia (soprano) and Simona Granelli (piano). The concert will be broadcast on the city’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ComunediSpoleto).
On Tuesday 9 March at 4 p.m. the conference Women and sport: from myth to modernity will be broadcast live on YouTube. Participants include Beatrice Montioni (deputy mayor and councillor for equal opportunities), Caterina Grifoni (president FIDAPA BPW Italy, Spoleto section) and Romanella Gentili Bistoni (past president FIDAPA BPW Italy, Alta Valle del Tevere section).
The last appointment (9 March at 6 p.m.) will be the short film dedicated to all Italian theatres Applausi. Eco-sustainable haute couture rekindles the stage lights with Giorgia Battistoni, Yuri Napoli, Fabiola Gaudio (violin) and Maestro Lorenzo Porzio (music and piano). The short film is produced by Multimedia Communication, directed by Matteo Cuccu and the screenplay by Maria Costici.
“Despite the restrictions and the impossibility of organising, as in the past, a programme of appointments to be lived in presence – said deputy mayor Beatrice Montioni – we managed to realise two occasions of confrontation on the role of women in institutions and in the world of sport, with the intention of providing everyone with elements of knowledge and food for thought useful for understanding the value of gender equality, in a context in which the persistence of discrimination against women and girls is not only a violation of a fundamental human right, but is also a limitation to the achievement of the condition necessary to finally have a prosperous, sustainable and peaceful world.”
