On 2 October Monia Giovannetti of the Cittalia foundation, the journalist Angelo Mastrandrea, Yvan Sagnet of the Nocap association and Anna Viola Toller of the Cidas cooperative, who collaborated in organizing the meeting, will talk about it in Ferrara. Introduces and moderates Stefania Mascetti of Internazionale.
