Last day, Friday, May 30 in the rose garden of San Giovanni Park in Trieste, for the 14th edition of Rose Libri Musica Vino, a festival sponsored by the University of Trieste and the social cooperative Agricola Monte San Pantaleone. This year's initiative explored through different perspectives the theme of power. A power that cultivates harmony and beauty, that knows the imperfections and harshness of life but never stops giving it confidence. In short, another kind of power, understood as a force that heals and cares, that listens, that is attentive to details, that breaks isolation and transcends boundaries.
