The Foundation is pleased to present the concert of Pinched Brigands, the musical group of our art therapy and socialization laboratory, in the prestigious setting of the Santa Cecilia Conservatory (via dei Greci, 18 - Rome).
THE Briganti Pizzicati will perform on February 14th at 7.00 pm. The choice of the date is not random, but evocative. The theme of the evening will be love, that love that manifests itself in care for yourself and others; care which means action, towards one's own (and others') psychosocial well-being.
There the true protagonist of the evening will be art and its material and immaterial value of care and inclusion. In addition to the music of Briganti Pizzicati, in collaboration with Music on the Way, there will be poetic and theatrical incursions, the result of the work carried out in other art therapy laboratories, with a view to a creative collaboration that highlights their technical rehabilitative value. There will also be the extraordinary performance by a high-level student of the Santa Cecilia Conservatory.

THE PROGRAM
The musical evening will be hosted by Adriana PannitterI, a TG1 journalist who is very sensitive and attentive to the topic of mental health. The direction will be by Franco Pennacchi.
With theater we fight the stigma of mental distress. Our laboratory is a lighthouse against indifference towards a topic too often left in the shadows by the media, politics and economics.
Let's fight to keep open the few places that feel and welcome this emergency. We need your support because we are convinced that restoring well-being to a single person improves the health of the entire community.
We are there Strambo Teatro Company. Some of us are tall, some short, others still young, elderly, stubborn, energetic, calm, greedy, sporty, lovers of the sea, the mountains, art.
Some of us, Then, suffer from psychological distress.
Our home is there Di Liegro Foundation. For more than twenty years he has been giving voice to the invisible. Without ever giving up, he carries out activities, projects, research: all to create that support network for people with mental health problems and their families, so that they are no longer excluded.
Our theater laboratory is one of these. Here we have become a company. Here our differences have become glue, here we have freed ourselves from labels.
Here we are together. Here we are actors.
Every week we meet at the Foundation to sweat, smile, act, create. Together we build the show that we stage at the end of the year, together we get excited, together we are stronger. Theater is good for us and we can no longer do without it. It's our home.
Theater changed our lives. For the better. It was an antidote to isolation, a multiplier of self-esteem, a tool to combat social exclusion caused by the stigma of mental distress. Was a immense and precious facilitator of personal and relational growth.
Here, beyond ours, there are every day art therapy workshops and socialization. There mental health it is their battle and the fight against marginalization is so powerful that they can breathe it. Here, we are a family. And we recognize each other.
This year our theater workshop is unable to start. The Foundation cannot support all the necessary expenses and we cannot help it with our own strength alone.
With your support we will be able to reopen our doors, furnish the rooms with a beautiful scenography, continue working with our director Roberto and go on the stage of a "real" theater at the end of the year!
Even a small donation can help us reach the goal. If you can't donate, maybe you can share the campaign and help spread the message.
I'm Lisa, I'm 67 years old. I felt very alone after the death of my doctor and the closure of the Day Center where I had friends who understood me. I arrived at the Foundation 5 years ago, my family told me that I would find new friends and that I would act with them in the theater workshop!
My sister Maria was always with me, even when we rehearsed. Sometimes I find myself in places I don't remember and don't understand where I am.
Today Maria no longer comes. A volunteer from the Foundation accompanies me but remains outside waiting for me. I love my new actor friends and I trust them.
A laboratory designed around photography and its ability to fuel emotions and thoughts through what is framed within the limits of a frame. What to frame and how to do it makes the difference between who takes the shot and who takes the shot. With their respective internal realities and everything that lives and moves, slowly or frenetically, in each human being. The Photography Laboratory, one of our art therapy activities, represents the space for meeting and integration, in which people eager to undertake a journey of growth and change, accompanied by professional photographers, tell their stories and the world in they live in and the world they live in.
The Don Luigi Di Liegro International Foundation has been carrying out initiatives and programs on mental health since 2005, thanks to which over time a territorial support network has been created which works to encourage the social inclusion of people with mental health problems with therapeutic rehabilitation courses at Mental Health Centers of the ASL of Rome and with the support of volunteers trained through the annual training course "Volunteers and Families in the Network for Mental Health".
It is possible to purchase photographs of the laboratory by donation, by sending an email to segreteria@fondazionediliegro.it
Dear friends, the Foundation, starting from the solid principles left by Don Luigi, renews its commitment every day to take small steps on a path aimed at protecting the dignity of the most fragile people in society.

The experience of many years has shown us the therapeutic value of the tools they use creativity and talents, to combat the isolation and loss of self-esteem caused by mental disorder.
The artistic and socialization workshops they are a flagship of the Di Liegro Foundation. Painting, theatre, music, photography, cooking and sewing they bring out resources and potential that everyone possesses, more or less. It is partly individual work which however takes place in a group context. It is "doing and participating", knowing and making yourself known. People referred by the Mental Health Centers of Rome, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers arrive in the laboratories. Participation is on a voluntary basis. They are users who choose to leave an institutionalized context to enter a reality that includes volunteers, family members, operators and which is open to the territory.
For several years, art therapy has been accompanied by a pilot project by the Di Liegro Foundation: la Fast walk. A movement technique that gives psychophysical well-being to anyone who practices it.
The photographic exhibition "On The Street" was inaugurated on Thursday 29 March at the Officine Fotografie (via Giuseppe Libetta, 1) in partnership with the Fondation d'Harcourt. Visitors will be able to observe a review of metropolitan images taken by the participants in the photography workshop which was conceived and organized by the Don Luigi Di Liegro Foundation. By purchasing one or more images you will be able to support our photography laboratory and allow us to move forward in our commitment.

"Memory of the Future" is the title of the show that concluded our Foundation's theater workshop. The text was born from the actors themselves, men and women, who know mental distress firsthand. Their suggestions and emotions reached the stage. The result was a reflection on time: past, future, but above all present. The public appreciated it a lot. The beautiful scenography was created by the Foundation's sewing workshop. We have been dealing with mental health for 15 years and every year there is a surprising result. The show was staged for two evenings at the Le Cave di Castalia Theatre.
Last May 12th and 13th the show entitled "The strange trials of Romeo and Juliet" was held at the La Fonte theater in Castalia. The show is a retelling of Shakespeare's famous play. Many young people from our foundation took part in the performance, taking on the roles of the characters to give the public a great show full of emotions.
