The conference will be held in Venice at the Children’s Provincial Institute of Santa Maria della Pietà – the third prestigious location of the artistic, educational and cultural itinerant project “Stories of Children”, which shall host until 15th April 2018 not only the exhibition but also its connected constellation of events (guided tours, creative workshops for children and families, shows, screenings, meetings, round tables and conferences), with each stop on the project’s journey around Italy inspired by the twelve powerful stories on childhood selected by Letizia Galli and exhibited in the display by set designer Michele Iodice.
