Two interesting initiatives will be made in the world of childhood, both at the Auditorium Parco della Musica: on 23 and 24 September will be held the show of the Bianco Teatro company on the circus life of Alfonsina Strada, the only woman who participated in the Giro d’Italy of men in 1924 (Saturday, 16, Sunday, 11 am); to follow the “Bicycles like Butterflies” workshop, edited by Fernanda Pessolano / Lucos Cozza Bicycle Library, which will see the small participants build a small paper theater with simple folding techniques to stage a story of animation.
The music will continue to be the protagonist at the Teatro Studio of the Auditorium Parco della Musica with concerts THE REPUBLIC OF BICYCLES by Guido Foddis and the Pedals of Ferrara, a concept performance with excerpts dedicated to the heroes of the Giro d’Italia (September 23, 21st) and TÊTES DE BOIS, who in their rock-folk-poetic show will give a special tribute to Alfonsina and the world of cyclists (September 24, at 9 pm).
In the pavilions of the Guidi Reni District will also be set up a “Cicloclub” (from 19 to free admission) inside which will be screened some shorts video and documentaries selected by magmatic material available on the net, ranging from urban cycling to Artistic Cycling, from extreme stunts to how to go shopping every day: stories and portraits from around the world for a bicycle culture all to watch, ranging from videoclips with hundreds of thousands of views to strange small masterpieces.
The Spin Cycling Festival will also award the Euromobility National “Pensieri & Pedali” Award for those (musicians, authors, writers, journalists, directors) who have, in various ways, promoted the “bicycle culture” in their artistic and professional work , already assigned the latest personalities such as Mogol, Enzo Iannacci, Bruno Gambarotta, Bruno Pizzul, Luca Carboni, Paolo Belli, Ficarra & Picone and Filippa Lagerbäck.
In collaboration with Granfondo Campagnolo Roma will be awarded the last 100 special price bets for participation in the “Granfondo Campagnolo Roma” and the cyclopedalata “In bici ai Castelli”.
The corollary of the event will be a “night lighted” pedal on the streets of the city (Saturday 24pm, departing from Guido Reni District), promoted by FIAB Roma Ruotalibera, to raise awareness of who uses the bicycle to be visible at night. Lights, reflectors, reflective jacket and everything – even if not explicitly mentioned in the Street Code – can help make the cyclist visible – a wonderful occasion to unleash your fantasy!
