Furgomytho
FurgoMytho, the van with the radio inside, is a project born from the desire to remember Giulio and his passion for Greek mythology and the stories he loved to tell in the podcasts recorded during the Radio Rogna workshop, a free and independent web radio active since 2016.
During the festival days, FurgoMytho will be parked near the Firmafede Fortress and will open its microphones to live testimonies from children, teenagers, and parents, and to interview speakers, artists, and writers.

Futuro Aperto
Aria ("Air")
The traces left by boys and girls during the first stop of the "Muro delle Idee" ("Wall of Ideas") in La Spezia have transformed into airborne words, carrying the dreams, hopes, and ideas of Generation Z. The installation, "Aria," located in an alley of the historic center, invites visitors to "walk through" these words, symbolically entering their world and promoting intergenerational listening and engagement.
The artwork was created by youths participating in Futuro Aperto, a project selected by "Con i Bambini" ("With Children") as part of the Fund for Combating Educational Poverty in Minors, and co-financed by Fondazione Carispezia. The initiative unites twenty-four partners, including associations, educational institutions, and high schools from the province of La Spezia.
