Roma Caput Mundi: a model of universal citizenship

The first meeting of the "I 7 Re di Roma" project: the first four kings and the welcoming of vulnerable people, followed by a singing, dance and acting workshop.

The meeting, led by lawyer Claudia Barcellona, told the story of the first four kings of Rome and of how the newborn city protected vulnerable people and regulated coexistence between different people. From Romulus's asylum to today's debate on welcoming others.
