A month of learning and fun, Pride Porta Venezia is part of a “great utopia” as Sassi defines it, The Porta Venezia project, through which the Association aims to make the area sustainable from several points of view.: “We would like Porta Venezia to become the flagship of Milan, an avant-garde, futuristic, safe area. Safe we understand what we have done together with the association DonnexStrada, which has selected five establishments in this area to become Punto Viola, in which the staff will be trained to recognize and help a woman in a difficult situation, so that the staff knows how to welcome and respond to her. Porta Venezia wants to be sustainable in this and many other ways. We are thinking about this with urban gardens on balconies, with areas free of smoking and plastic.”

“We are an inclusive association, an association of all, and together with cultural intermediaries, we are trying to bring together all Eritrean, Ethiopian and Senegalese traders. to be associated because it means coming together as a group of people who share values, dreams, goals.” Since its inception as a Lazzaretto and a place always ready to welcome the outcasts, The Port of Venice has a well-deserved reputation as the city’s melting pot cradle.. Today, Paolo Sassi explains to us, it is important not to lose this heritage, also acting from an entrepreneurial point of view. “For a pan-Italian cultural heritage, those involved in activism and association must be tough and clean and, above all, free, this is how association is seen in Italy. However, I always thought that these two fields can coexist: to create at an event like Pride Porta Venezia, you have to interact with multinationals, with brands, and you cannot limit this work to your free time, you need much more commitment. To get results, you need funds.” With its conscious heart between activism and entrepreneurship, the city of Milan is thus preparing for a month of events organized by various organizations that will take place in its pulsating and will end with the Pride Milano event and processionscheduled for June 24, 2023.
