From shore to shore

On 3 December 2026, at 6:15 pm, on the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, AIFO ETS is organising a special evening at Palazzo De' Toschi in Bologna, marking the conclusion of the second edition of its Inclusion Campaign.

The event will feature the string quartet of the Orchestra del Mare, performing on instruments made by people in prison using wood from migrant boats that reached Lampedusa. The programme includes music by Ennio Morricone, Nicola Piovani and Astor Piazzolla.

Music will alternate with personal accounts and stories of inclusion, featuring contributions from Arnoldo Mosca Mondadori, creator of the Metamorfosi project, and Valentina Tomirotti, journalist and disability rights activist. The evening will be hosted by Lucia Bellaspiga, journalist for Avvenire. An aperitivo offered by AIS Emilia Romagna will follow.

The evening supports the 2026 Inclusion Campaign, dedicated to women with disabilities who are victims of violence in Mozambique. During the event, guests will be able to support the fundraising campaign with a voluntary donation.
