Memory and Community – CUPA Meeting Series

A series of meetings for the community

"Memory and Community" is a series of meetings and conferences promoted by the C.U.P.A. (Permanent United Anti-fascist Committee) of Gussago, in the province of Brescia, with the patronage of the Municipality. Every spring, the event offers a series of appointments dedicated to topics of public interest, serving as a moment of reflection and discussion for the local community.

Crucial issues of the present

The series addresses central issues of contemporary society, intertwining historical memory and current events. Among the topics covered in various editions: the school system, its problems and potential; the Italian Constitution and its principles (work, social security, differentiated autonomy); mental health and territorial relations; peace and the risks of global disorder. The meetings give voice to university professors, experts, trade unionists, and witnesses, in an open dialogue with the public.

The Togni Hall, a venue for debate

The meetings are held in the Sala Civica Togni in the evening, a space in Gussago that regularly hosts theatre, culture, and public debate. Free admission makes it an initiative open to all citizens, in line with CUPA's mission to promote democratic participation and civic awareness.

Memory and civic engagement

For Gussago, "Memory and Community" represents a cultural and civic stronghold, capable of keeping alive reflection on the values of the Constitution and anti-fascism, applying them to the challenges of the present. A precious opportunity for the Gussago community to come together around the major issues of our time, between historical memory and commitment to the future.
