The "Assafà Festival: Sustainable Illustration Residency and Festival" began on October 18th. This event is part of the new cultural initiatives promoted by the "Lost in Transition" project. This cultural orientation program, aimed at supporting the ecological transition, was promoted by Blam and is supported by the European Union through #nextgenerationEU funds in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture.
Objective: to guide cultural proposals towards sustainable and inclusive change.
A Cultural Path towards Sustainability
Through “Lost in Transition”, Blam has developed a zero-cost capacity building path, aimed at orienting cultural projects towards a sustainable methodology. This project has celebrated its success with several award-winning initiatives, including Assafà Festival, which are taking shape in Salerno, a city chosen as a cultural hub where such projects can amplify their impact.
An Event Dedicated to the Culture of the Image
Assafà Festival takes place from October 18th to 20th, marking its first edition with a focus on visual culture. The event is curated by Sciglio, a small local business specializing in illustration and screen printing, and is designed to create new opportunities for training and networking between young artists and industry professionals. The initiative is not limited to creativity but also embodies a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
Artistic Explorations and Collaborations
Giulia Dall'Ara, illustrator and painter, has already participated in an artist residency, which ended last September 24th. During her stay, she interacted with the community of Salerno, exploring its rituals and traditions related to the feast of San Matteo, patron saint of the city. This open studio phase offered the opportunity to observe the birth of Dall'Ara's works.
Workshops and Creative Meetings
Assafà Festival is an important platform for the encounter between visual arts, design and craftsmanship. The program includes a series of workshops, discussions and meetings that span different creative fields such as illustration, photography and printing techniques. Among the protagonists of the weekend will be important artists and creatives, including Elena Campa and Lanificio Leo.
The Future of Cultural Welfare
In addition to Assafà Festival, “Lost in Transition” continues to fuel other cultural initiatives in Salerno, such as the “Tune the Town” workshop and the upcoming “Transurbanze” project. These initiatives aim to raise awareness on socio-environmental issues and promote an innovative model of cultural welfare, based on participation and responsibility. The ambition is to transform the city into an innovative cultural hub, supporting a transition towards a more sustainable and inclusive future.

Caivano – An arrest that brings to light one of the most dramatic pages in Neapolitan news. Yesterday, the Carabinieri snapped handcuffs on Ciro Migliore, a 27-year-old already known to law enforcement, during a drug raid in Caivano's green park. The man, identified as an alleged drug dealer, is the same young transgender man who was the boyfriend of Maria Paola Gaglione, the 16-year-old who died in the accident in September 2020. The tragedy, which shocked the entire community, was caused by the victim's brother, Michael Gaglione. As established in the trial, the man, opposing his sister's relationship, chased the couple on a motorcycle. During the chase, the scooter on which Maria Paola and Ciro Migliore were riding crashed, causing the young woman's death. Michele Gaglione was sentenced to 9 years and 6 months in prison for manslaughter. Yesterday's arrest by the police adds a dark piece to Migliore's story. The military raided his home, finding evidence of what appears to be a well-organized drug dealing ring: among the findings, 10 pre-packaged doses of cocaine and crack, packaging material and a "lmaster book" with initials and numbers, likely the accounts from the illegal sale. €1.675 in cash was also seized, presumably the proceeds of the illicit activity. The September 16th investigation is not the first drug dealing investigation involving Ciro Migliore after the death of his girlfriend; already in February 2021, he was targeted by law enforcement for similar crimes. The arrest closes a tragic cycle, where a family loss is intertwined with stories of deviance and illegality.
