In Padova there are “Houses in Colors” where the social tourism and the reception are part of a sole project: tourists, migrants and homeless cohabit and coexist. Maurizio Trabuio, after many years of social assistance and specialized in reception, is the creator of these hybrid structures where the guests are involved and hold responsible. All the guests in the “House in Colors” help to rebuild after a big tornado that hit Dolo and Mira.
Massimo Ferrari was born in Rome on 27-02-1976. He graduated in Communication Sciences at La Sapienza University, in Rome. Writer and author of many documentaries on myths of Italian cinema for Sky Cinema: documentaries by Roberto Benigni, Sophia Loren, Totò to Manfredi, through Germi, Dino Risi, Tognazzi and Alberto Sordi.
Antonio Calò is a high school philosophy teacher at Liceo Ginnasio Statale in Treviso. He wanted to deeply explore the theme of reception directly in his home town, welcoming some migrants. His example of hosting has earned him the honor of the Order of Merit of the Republic by the President Sergio Mattarella with the following motivation: “For the example of civilization and humanity that he provided by opening his home to six young refugees“.
