It is emblematic of the rejection of violence against women and, with its scarlet colour, reminds us of the void left by the victims: as part of the Week of Giving, there are two Red Benches placed on the campuses of Piacenza and Cremona, bearing witness to the path that Università Cattolica is taking on the issue of gender violence.
Installed in the Giardino dei Semplici in Cremona and in the pathway between the main entrance to the campus and the Collegio S. Isidoro in Piacenza, they were inaugurated in the presence of Professor Raffaella Iafrate, the Rector's delegate for Equal Opportunities, the Deans of the Faculties of Economics and Law and of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences Marco Allena and Marco Trevisan, and Professor Pierpaolo Triani representing the Faculty of Education. Also present at the inauguration ceremony was Professor Anna Maria Fellegara, Vice Rector of Università Cattolica.
