Mantova and Travellers

April 6, 2024 Published by: Roma Foundation

An article about the open bills left by Roma and travellers in a camp in Maontova, Italy. Apparently, they left unpaid electricity bills, tapped illegally in the electrical system, did not pay the fees for camping etc. All this amounting to more than 400’000 euros.

Not good.

Prague 3 and Roma

April 6, 2024 Published by: Roma Foundation

Another article about Roma living in Prague’s 3^rd neigbourhood. Roma feel safe in Prague 3, but they encounter prejudices in the commercial housing market. This was shown by the research of the city district among the local Roma population. A Roma counselor helps with the solution of specific problems and the support of Roma culture, a position that Prague 3 provides as the only district in the capital. Current advisor Veronika Polášková will continue in her role.

Bologna, Fashion, and Roma

April 6, 2024 Published by: Roma Foundation

On Saturday 6 April at 8.30pm, in Bologna, the DumBO Workshop welcomes the ‘Rom (antico) Fashion Show’, a fashion show in which the designer of Sinti origins Noell Maggini will present a selection of his creations. Born in Prato, 29 years old, Maggini creates tailor-made couture collections and garments, which are designed, cut and made by hand.

“It will be my first fashion show in Bologna and I am very curious – explained Maggini – I brought my models to Florence at Pitti Uomo and to Milan Fashion Week, but Bologna is an important city for fashion, experimentation and new trends, and it is also the city where the Romani presence was recorded for the first time in Italy in the 15th century”. With ateliers and showrooms in Prato, the Maggini brand sells throughout Italy.
