All you need is  a flower – 100 hours for the environment. This is the title of the event developed  thanks to the “stubbornness” of Movimento Caparbia, and a bit of our stubbornness too- , a really “big” event that brings together conferences, music, culture and recreational activities. It will take place from June 5 to June 9 in the area of “terraferma” which is not far from Venice: Marghera and Mestre The events of last October and November, which brought considerable damage to the Venetian forest heritage, to the heart of Venice, to the coasts – and affected many other areas of our territory – have greatly affected us.

The helper and Santa Claus wrote to each other via chat (and yes… even Santa Claus has become...
