[machine translation]

A multimedia exhibition presents the issues, materials, guests, publications.
A Fano, at the Infoshop Via G. da Serravalle 16, August 29 to 31 with 18-21 hours.
The exhibition is curated by Libertarian Alternative-FDCA-Library and Archives E. 
Travaglini. ---- The anticlerical meeting was held in Fano for 15 years, becoming a 
reference point in the Italian battle for the respect of cultural diversity and freedom of 
thought, in a country still in many respects highly underdeveloped compared to the 
recognition of individual liberties and rights civilians instead considered discounted in 
other countries of Europe, from living wills to heterologous fertilization, the civil 
rights of unmarried couples.

History of self-management and challenges of repression (by attempts to prohibit the 
exposure of the word "meeting anticlerical" the prohibition on using public spaces in 
1990), and creative chaos, a meeting point from which was born in 1986, also the first 
version of the organized civil protest against the incorrect "count of the faithful" 
Catholics in Italy: the Association for the Sbattezzo.

Small Italian Woodstock, the meeting has had many distinguished guests and great 
performances, is the Fano state until 1998 and was later traveling with stops in various 
Italian cities. Completely self, he used public spaces then semi abandoned: the Malatesta 
Fortress, Bastion Sangallo, the Cloister Saint Michael.

These are the years the start of the papacy of John Paul II, who was elected in 1978, and 
the financial and political maneuvers that result in the scandal of the IOR, in 1982 with 
the indictment of Cardinal Paul Marcinkus and the murder of Roberto Calvi. These were also 
the years of the reform of the teaching of religion in public schools, with the law 
Falcucci of 1985, and the protest of those who find themselves, not wanting to attend the 
hour of the Catholic religion, put the edge of the school timetable. These are the years 
in which Craxi with 'new Concordat' vara eight per thousand, then reserved solely for 
Catholic confession. There is much to discuss, and libertarians and anarchists Fano 
dell'attivissimo Circle Papini seen catapulted into the big success of the initiative, 
which goes, year after year, to serve the "Menu heretic" at the table with self-managed 
more than 500 meals a day . Dozens of bands and artists decide to contribute with free 
shows every edition fills campsites, guest houses and hotels in Fano.

In the years following the major national media send post, and international ones 
(including the "Times") are interested in meeting. From that 3.5 in August of 1984, the 
meeting has been a witness of freedom and unconventionality, and also, perhaps, an example 
of how today it is rather difficult to intersect dispute, spontaneity and creativity that 
is subject to social marketing, to more bureaucracy and the usual pressures of political 
power.

Of course, the right-minded Fano who made war on the meeting, over the years have had much 
more of which "shocked" the shock revelations about pedophilia in the clergy, murders and 
scandals of the Ravens in the Vatican, the investigations have confirmed the IOR for 
himself the great corruption inherent in traditional models of the temporal power of the 
Catholic Church; reality does seem naive now the same anticlerical satire. But now if you 
still have some self-righteous reactions broken down in front of the word "haters" (as we 
saw last year with the "censorship" to the presentation to the Malatesta Fortress of a 
book on Joyce Lussier and meeting) is because maybe this is the key Read more effective 
policy from time crooks Italian and exorcism of rhetoric that hides behind religion to 
those typical patterns of lobbying and cronyism of which our country unfortunately still 
does not want to do without.
