Paolo Pileri, author of Progettare la lentezza, teaches urban planning and design at the Politecnico di Milano. He is the creator and scientific director of VENTO, a tourist bike trail along the Po River from Venice to Turin.
The event is promoted by the social cooperative Arcobaleno and the Casa Comune, training school for education and cultural dialogue to promote the principles and actions of integrated ecology and justice, founded by Gruppo Abele in collaboration with CinemAmbiente. The idea began with the desire to enrich the “diet” of the Festival through talks on current events with persons engaged in the culture of goal-oriented change. The conversations will take place outside Cinema Massimo in a round room furnished with a bench made by the volunteers from Arcobaleno and from Laboratorio Migranti, which is located in the Pastorale dei Migranti, and other sessions designed by Sefano Macoz. Passersby and audience members will be invited to take their seats in the Rainbow Room (with ample standing room) and to participate in free conversation guided by the members of the Progetto Cartesio.
