REBIBBIA ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Today afternoon at the Casa Circondariale Maschile in Rebibbia Nuovo Complesso, the inauguration of the project “Another music”, created by the Fondazione Santo Versace in collaboration with Intesa Sanpaolo. In the presence of Santo Versace and Francesca De Stefano Versace, the event also took part and the singer-songwriter and composer Ermal Meta who after cutting the tape performed in a concert for the prisoners and guests present.

The project envisaged the realization, within the penitentiary institute, of a real professional recording studio, consisting of a direction and an acoustically treated shooting room equipped with equipment and equipment. At the same time, a training path has been activated, not yet completed, for sound technicians, a professional figure today required in many areas: from music to audiovisual, from podcast production to digital content, to the event industry.

The initiative was born with a precise objective: to offer people with specific and spendable specialist skills in the world of work, transforming the detention period also in an occasion of training, responsibility and construction of new perspectives for the future.

Teresa Mascolo, director of the Circus House “Raffaele Cinotti”- Rebibbia Nuovo Complex said: “I wish to express my deepest gratitude for the valuable initiative, carried out by the Fondazione Santo Versace and Intesa San Paolo, in the perspective of the fruitful availability and collaboration to which the relations with this House are marked. This project tells a story of trust, dignity, hope and gratitude: every new beginning deserves a place where it becomes possible”.

With “another music”, the Fondazione Santo Versace continues its commitment to the promotion of paths that can create real opportunities and tools of autonomy, starting from the conviction that training and work represent two fundamental elements in the processes of social and professional reintegration of the people held.

Santo Versace added: “I deeply believe in the value of work, because work returns dignity, autonomy and the possibility to build their own future. With “Another Music” we want to offer people held the opportunity to acquire concrete professional skills, which can become redemption tools once the penalty is over. A society that really believes in reintegration must have the courage to invest in people and their possibilities of change.”.

For Francesca De Stefano Versace “Every person, regardless of the mistakes made, deserves the opportunity to start over. But it is not enough to talk about second chances, we must create conditions for them to become real. With “Another Music” we want a recording studio to become much more than a place where to make music: a space where you feel heard, rediscover your skills and return to believe in yourself.”.

For Paolo Bonassi, Chief Social Impact Officer of Intesa San Paolo: “Every story, even the most difficult, encompasses the possibility of a new beginning. With ‘An Other Music’, people held acquire skills and new perspectives, demonstrating how training and inclusion can turn into concrete ransom opportunities. This is the value of the collaboration between Intesa Sanpaolo and the Fondazione Santo Versace: create real opportunities for growth, promote change and restore confidence in the future”.

“When the state and the civic sensibility of the private join forces, re-education and social security become shared and concrete goals,” said the undersecretary of Justice Alberto Balboni. “Training and working are the real pillars of social inclusion and the most effective tools to prevent relapse. But to do quality training, adequate structures are needed. The realization of the professional recording studio adjacent to the theatre and the donation of the entire equipment park and technical materials represent an investment of extraordinary value that equips the institute of cutting-edge tools destined to remain in time”.
