The memorandum of understanding between On the Road and the Ente Scuola Edile of the provinces of Ascoli Piceno and Fermo has been formalized. The agreement establishes a strategic collaboration in the areas of guidance, vocational training, socio-occupational inclusion, the promotion of legality, and the fight against labor exploitation and the illegal intermediation of labor (known in Italy as “caporalato”).
From 15 to 17 October 2026, Fermo will host “Workers – Stories of Everyday Exploitation”, a travelling, interactive installation produced by Lule Onlus and the FavolaFolle theatre company as part of the anti–human trafficking project “Mettiamo le Ali – Dall’emersione all’integrazione” (Let’s Spread Our Wings – From Emergence to Integration), funded by the Dipartimento per le Pari Opportunità, designed to raise public awareness of severe labour exploitation.
On the Road endorses the European appeal for the right to housing and against the misuse of public funds, recognising housing as an essential condition for building pathways towards inclusion, autonomy and participation in community life.
The Regional Coordination of Anti‑Violence Centres and Safe Houses expresses deep sorrow and outrage over the femicide of Luigia Fortunato, the 33‑year‑old woman brutally stabbed to death by her former partner in Loreto. We stand with her family in grief, and especially with her seven‑year‑old child, who has been deprived of a mother in such a violent and traumatic way.
We remain appalled by what happened in San Benedetto del Tronto, where a well-known far-right public figure, a representative of Futuro Nazionale, physically assaulted a migrant person in a state of clear vulnerability on the street. The assault was filmed in a calculated and instrumental way, intended to be shown on social media, almost as a warning and a low-level attempt to boost their own online visibility.
On 16 July 2026, from 14:30 to 19:00, in the Sala Grande of the Abruzzo Regional Council (6th floor, Via Conte di Ruvo 74, Pescara), we will hold a local workshop dedicated to co‑creating the new communication campaign to promote inclusive housing, as part of the programmatic actions of the S.O.L.E.I.L. Abruzzo Project.
FIRST STEP is the new multilingual app developed under the FAMI CIR – Cittadini in Rete Project, promoted by the Prefecture of Ascoli Piceno together with On the Road Cooperative and LELLA 2001 Cooperative. The project aims to make services for Third-Country Nationals more accessible, coordinated and effective.
