Fridays in Siena OFF. Meeting with the journalist Toni Capuzzo in dialogue with Orlando Pacchiani – toscanalibri

The Fridays of Siena, event OFF exceptionally on Saturday. On May 18th at 6.30 pm in the Sala delle Lupe, Palazzo Pubblico, the journalist Toni Capuozzo – war correspondent for various newspapers – will discuss with Orlando Pacchiani from La Nazione on current affairs starting from the wars that are shaking the world today: from “new” conflicts such as the one between Russia and Ukraine to the more historic ones, but more relevant than ever, such as the one in the Middle East. We will also talk about terrorism, peacekeeping missions and new war technologies. Initiative of the Municipality of Siena curated by toscanalibri.it, artistic direction by Francesco Ricci.

As is now customary, at the end of the event there was an aperitif with a toast by Fisar Siena (technical sponsor).
