It was a high profile conference organized by the Tarquinia Lions Club, in the figure of the lawyer Paolo Pirani, at the town hall of the Etruscan city on November 25th, on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Entitled “Red Code – Practical applications, use of IT tools, socio-cultural profiles and prospects for improvement”, the meeting was promoted in collaboration with the Criminal Chamber of Civitavecchia “Attilio Bandiera” and the Municipality of Tarquinia. The conference was an opportunity to delve deeper into the complexity of the phenomenon of violence against women and the most vulnerable people from a legal, technological, social, cultural and sporting point of view. In fact, the chief prosecutor of Civitavecchia, Dr. Alberto Liguori, attended; the president of the Criminal Chamber of Civitavecchia “Attilio Bandiera”, the lawyer Leonardo Montini Paciotta; the forensic IT expert, engineer Paolo Reale; the councilor and treasurer of the Council of the Civitavecchia Bar Association, the lawyer Laura Russino; the singer of the rock group “Le Vibrazioni” Francesco Sarcina; and professional mixed martial arts fighter Alessio Di Chirico. “Everyone – states the president of the Tarquinia Lions Club Roberta Ranucci – brought their contribution: the prosecutor Liguori from the perspective of the judiciary; the Royal engineer from that of the use of new technologies; the lawyers Paciotta and Russino with testimonies of their work; the frontman of “Le Vibrazioni” from that of music and what he can do to combat violence; the champion and coach Di Chirico from that of sport and on the importance it has in helping young people grow in a healthy way and in transmitting positive messages”. Among those present in the council chamber were the mayor of Tarquinia Francesco Sposetti and the councilor for public education Sara Corridoni, lawyers, school managers, students and law enforcement, who carry out an exceptional job and are the first to intervene in case of emergency and to have direct contact with victims of violence. “The central theme of the meeting is law 69 of 2019, known as the “Red Code” – states lawyer Pirani -. Given the complexity of the phenomenon, the objective was to address it in a multidisciplinary way, involving speakers from extremely different fields in the debate, therefore capable of offering different perspectives and suggesting ideas for implementing the necessary tools to combat violence” .
