"THE STORY I'M GOING TO TELL."
It draws inspiration from the TRUE story of the Bolognese who, in about 1328, sent away a French cardinal, a former captain of fortune, with shitballs (a fact that Dario Fo also described in his Fabulatio osceno). Then we continue with a surreal sketch about the Italians' attempt to assemble a team of astronauts to send to the moon. Then an excerpt from Maurizio Gasparri and Daniela Santanchè's "New Cyclopedia of European Historia" for early middle schoolers in 2027. Then a poem by Trilussa (Loreto, trained parrot) dealing in his own way with the trinity of God, Fatherland, Family. Staying with the era, a tale by De Amicis (perhaps) in which we see what is really gained by sacrificing oneself for the Fatherland. Brilliant closing with Vincent Van Gogh as a dental technician who practices with his brother Teo and mixes painting with dental care.

"ARMED REBELS"
The Gypsy Theater Company
In the 1960s and 1970s some boys from the working-class neighborhoods took up arms to "go get money from those who have it and always screw us over." Where to get it if not from the bank. However, this story is not just about money, it is also about the will to act and live a challenge. Who the challenge was aimed at sometimes it was not clear to them either. But surely it was a way to get out of a daily life experienced as oppressive, made up of hard jobs and economic exploitation. Only years later did some of them realize that their being robbers was different from petty and grand crime. Their way of living and operating had relationships and solidarity in the neighborhoods from which they came, and their way of being criminals conflicted with the power structure and society. They also had an organizational form that hated hierarchies and leaders.
Armed Rebels seeks to restore the narrative and life experience of these people.
A spirit also told several times on film.

"The Conversation"
With Cristina Saracano and Gianni Brian Pasino
Freely adapted from a text by Giulio Cavalli.
The dialogue takes place during a job interview where the woman aspires to employment and the examiner, a man, tries in every way to put her in jeopardy.
Once again the protagonists are the issues of work and gender equality in a society attentive but not too active to change .
4:40 p.m. Gian Franco Cereda
"Readings from "Rebels" by Pino Cacucci"
5 p.m. Rocco Rosignoli
On this occasion the well-known singer-songwriter will tell us about an activity of his that is not known to everyone, because
singer-songwriter, Rocco Rosignoli is also a craftsman of writing. His publishing debut came in 2009 with the book "Zeppelin - anachronistic prosimeter," a collection of poems and poetic prose. After a long publishing silence, in 2018 he published "Confused Profession," a new collection of verse, for Il Foglio editions. He is also an essayist in music ("The Art of Leonard Cohen," Mimesis, 2022) and film ("The Graduate of Mike Nichols," The Sheet, 2021). Underlying his literary work is a willingness to play with words and disrupt language, seeking for the poetic word a social role even where it is denied it.
5:20 p.m. MaRinò
Performance music and graphic arts performed extemporaneously
"Free in the blue sky"
5:40 p.m. Selva Varengo

6 p.m. Marco Pandin
Presentation of the record
"two thousand red poppies"
Enriched with 3 films, two of which are interviews with Fabrizio De André. Marco Pandin's talk "Black Star" presents a work of songs by Fabrizio De André reissued from the original released in 2008. As Marco says "... it has always made me reflect on the distance that passes between the well-equipped stages of palaqualcosa (where the singer-songwriter Fabrizio De André sang) and the taverns, from the beautiful theaters downtown to the social centers forced to stay without water..." and yet Fabrizio was and is sung in all these places continuously even today. Marco says again this is "....Explicit sign that his words went straight to the bottom of the heart without stopping to float on the surface..." The record contrary to what some may think is also very interesting from a strictly musical point of view and is an enjoyable listen. There is nothing more to say except what Marco once again tells us "In here are the songs of Fabrizio De André as we see them, the musicians with the small little name or without a name. We who remain on the edge of the market, we who never wanted to enter the market. We have remained here, looking out our window overlooking the gray walls of the suburbs of the "safest city" in our precarious encampment where we wait for evictions and truncheons, in our bedrooms and in our cellars transformed with imagination into the best-equipped recording studios to chase away the idea of war in our own way."
6:30 p.m. Marcella Lombardi
"Fashion show of self-managed salvaged clothes, beyond business, for a creative path against the conventional canons imposed by fashions."
