Donato Emmer was a guest, with his itinerant hemp museum, at the second edition of the Hippocrates National Convention, which took place in Padua, at the Dominio di Bagnoli, on Saturday and Sunday 22 and 23 June 2024. Two days of reflections, workshops and debates on sustainability issues, topics up to now within the competence of the “big men” of the planet, expressed in the Davos International Forum, in the UN and EU Resolutions. To organize the event HippocratesOrg, a non-profit association that brings together an international network of doctors, researchers, social and health workers who pursue an ethical and innovative idea of health. Hemp has been the protagonist because the abuse of petroleum-derived materials is suffocating our planet under a sea of plastic. In response, nature offers sustainable alternatives such as corn, bamboo, and especially… hempa plant with the potential to transform the way we live, build and care. Donato Farro, resident in Capodrise but of Marcianisa origins, with his traveling exhibition, showed the large audience present period photos and other paper material, as well as the tools necessary for sowing, harvesting and processing hemp, but also the fiber obtained from the plant, the canapuli, the processed fabric and the measuring instrument. A series of unique pieces that tell the story of an activity that was the protagonist of a long period of Marcianise’s history.
