Genoa, success for the Orientamenti Festival: 40.000 attendees and meetings with stars such as Magnini, Vecchioni and Massari.

It ended with about 40 thousand visitors on the first day of the 29th edition of the Orientamenti Festival, with almost all the scheduled events sold out, including those featuring the three testimonials of this 2024 edition.

The Orientamenti Festival remained open until 22 pm to give families the opportunity to visit the spaces and stands.

"The numbers from Tuesday, but also those of the people who have booked their place for an event in the 3 days, over 100 thousand, with registrations still open, demonstrate how, once again, the Orientamenti Festival is able to speak to young people, families and teachers, and to give suggestions and answers on crucial issues such as work, training and the future.", He comments the president of the Liguria Region, Marco Bucci. "Our goal is to provide concrete opportunities to young people, to build training that is increasingly in tune with the job market, to prevent the continuation of the fact that, every year, dozens of companies do not find the staff they are looking for and thousands of available jobs are not filled. For this reason” – concludes Bucci – “in the next Council the delegations of school, university, training and work will be in the same department, so that these areas can work in an even closer and more functional way".

Among the main events, the meeting with the former swimmer Filippo Magnini, entitled “Re Magno and the victory of clean sport”, in which the athlete spoke with the kids about his story and what is at the basis of a swimmer's successes, but also about his commitment in the fight against doping, conducted with the association “I'm doping free”. He also spoke about his battle, later won before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, to prove his innocence in the face of accusations of use of doping substances.

Debora Massari held the lesson entitled “Manual skills as a creative and entrepreneurial tool”. The entrepreneur and pastry chef, among the most influential in the field of pastry and food, is the godmother of the Hands area of ​​the Orientamenti Festival 2024 and told girls and boys how it is possible to apply the entrepreneurial mentality and model to make their work more efficient, replicable, but also more creative. The story retraced her professional experience, which began in the family pastry shop founded by her father Iginio Massari and matured in the transformation into the “Iginio Massari Alta Pasticceria” brand, on whose board of directors she now sits as a founding partner and co-responsible for the Research and Development department.

Without leaving aside difficulties and failures, Massari also faced the theme of the centrality of study and in-depth analysis behind the pastry-making profession, essential for building a project that aims to become a consolidated reality also on an international level.

Roberto Vecchioni, who in addition to being a singer-songwriter and writer is also a teacher, spoke about “The use and strength of classics today”: as a testimonial for the Human area, he told teachers and students how the classics can today be used to build the foundations of a more solid future, and how in the classics it is possible to find the life, the values ​​and the roots of our culture, as well as the strength to challenge the distortions of our world.

Vincenzo Schettini, professor and science communicator, testimonial of the Stem trend, is the creator of the format “The physics we like”, where, thanks to YouTube and social media, physics becomes a spectacle capable of involving and enthralling an ever-wider audience.
