Art, Music, Sports, Inclusion: Union and culture to fight social distress.
The closing show, on June 16, will feature:
Marco Masini, Marcello Fonte, Mirko Frezza, La Scelta, Lele Sarallo and other special guests
The beating heart of culture and social awareness beats to the rhythm of art and inclusion with the Social Tour, a revolutionary initiative that will come to life from 13 to 16 June 2024 in Guidonia Montecelio.
The Social Tour is not just an event, but an immersive experience that combines artistic expression with awareness of social challenges. By promoting understanding and embracing diversity, the initiative aims to eliminate prejudice and build a more inclusive and informed community.
This unique project was born from the commitment of Mattia Del Forno (singer of the band La Scelta) and Alessia Croce, in collaboration with the record label Coffee Records. The event, sponsored by the Municipality of Guidonia Montecelio, the Lazio Region, the ASL of RM5 and the CIP (Italian Paralympic Committee), aims to raise awareness in the community of Guidonia Montecelio on the theme of social distress through art, culture and sport.
"People are increasingly distant and unwelcoming towards others – underlines Mattia Del Forno - Social hardship, especially among young people, is constantly increasing, and COVID-19 has further exacerbated this situation, acting as a catalyst. It has deprived us not only of opportunities for encounter and solidarity, but also of prospects and hopes for the future.
With a series of free events, the Social Tour aims to open minds and hearts, openly addressing the challenges of today and tomorrow. The program includes four intense days during which artists, experts and enthusiasts from various sectors will be involved:

In an age where the fear of socializing is a clear symptom of the decadence of the third millennium, with increasingly virtual and less encouraging relationships, the Social Tour aims to instill a vital and essential energy in our existence and serves as a beacon of change. The project aims to be an opportunity for Guidonia Montecelio, presenting a realistic vision of participation and social cohesion through concrete and long-lasting actions that begin in the early stages of education to challenge stereotypes and promote change. The goal is to inform the city, build strong social networks, engage institutions, and break down prejudices.
The Social Tour, scheduled for June 13th to 16th, is a genuine call to action, hoping to inspire participants to broaden their perspectives and take an active role in building a better future for both their communities and themselves.
