On May 22, the IIS Giordani in Caserta will host a gathering full of drama and tears with “Mamme Coraggio”, dedicated to the presentation of the book Nero su Bianco by Maria Luisa Ventriglia, mother and president of the Gianluca Sgueglia OdV Association.
This initiative, aimed at students, will not skimp on heart-wrenching blows, staging stories of maternal love pushed to the extreme, brutal resilience and a civic commitment that transforms mourning into a kind of revenge against indifference.
Testimonies of Pain and Resilience
Here, young people will witness an explosion of raw emotions, with a focus on how the family faces the darkest storms, rising from the abyss of loss to convert pain into concrete actions on the territory. Nothing sappy: it will be a direct and no-frills confrontation, where the raw side of everyday life will be thrown in the faces of those present.
The Program Without Filters
The agenda is full and merciless, with readings interpreted by students, institutional greetings that will not be limited to pleasantries, interventions by experts and family members ready to fire off true stories, and a face to face with the author, whose personal experience is already in its third reprint like a bestseller of suffering. Nor does the testimony of Antonio Sgueglia escape, who will throw a raw look at family chaos and the distorted value of shared memory at the students. In the end, the event will close with a coup de grace: a message of reflection and hope from Don Antonello Giannotti, who could leave more questions than answers among the desks.
The event of Mamme Coraggio seems very interesting and useful for students. Stories of pain and resilience can teach a lot, but I hope it is not too heavy for the kids. It is also important to give a message of hope.
