Una serata dedicata al pensiero, alla letteratura e alla crescita personale. Nel salotto culturale di **[Vatican Privé](https://vaticanprive.com/)**, a pochi passi dal Vaticano. ## **Se la cultura non cambiasse la tua vita, a cosa servirebbe?** La domanda guida della serata invita a riflettere sul ruolo della cultura nella trasformazione dell’individuo. Il dialogo esplorerà come letteratura, filosofia e arte possano contribuire alla costruzione di una struttura mentale capace di superare limiti personali e condizionamenti sociali. ## **Il significato del Dantedì** La scelta del **25 marzo** non è casuale: secondo molti studiosi, è il giorno in cui Dante colloca simbolicamente l’inizio del viaggio narrato nella *Divina Commedia* nel 1300. Un viaggio che rappresenta il passaggio dall’oscurità alla consapevolezza. Il 25 marzo può diventare anche per te un punto di partenza: un momento per fermarti, riflettere e scegliere di compiere il prossimo passo nel tuo percorso di crescita. ## **Maggiori informazioni** https://vaticanprive.com/eventi/dantedi-roma

# HuCon Roma — 27 March 2026 [https://humansinconversation.com/#signup](https://humansinconversation.com/#signup) HuCon (Humans in Conversation) is an intimate, guided storytelling gathering coming to Rome on 27 March 2026, built around one simple but powerful idea: **cities need to pause and listen to how people are really doing.** ## What happens at the table? A small group of people — typically around 8 — come together in a safe, private space to respond to one shared question that genuinely matters to those in the room. For the Rome edition, that question cuts right to the heart of expat and transplant experience: > *"You came to Rome to begin again. But what did it cost your well-being?"* The conversation explores **reinvention and belonging in the capital** — the hidden costs of starting over, the loneliness of not quite fitting in, and the quiet resilience it takes to build a life in a new city. ## What makes it different? * **Small group** — intimate enough for real honesty * **Confidential** — no cameras, no social performance * **No agenda** — just honest, often anonymous stories * **Food is part of it** — participants share a dish meaningful to their community * **Your voice matters beyond the room** — stories are audio-recorded and later published on the *Humans in Conversation* Spotify podcast, contributing to a global archive that helps cities and researchers design more human responses in an AI-shaped world ## Who is it for? Anyone who moved to Rome chasing something — a fresh start, a dream, a relationship, an escape — and has never quite had the space to talk honestly about what that journey has cost them. No performance required. No cameras watching. **HuCon is where the city finally stops to listen.**

🔥 **LA RIVOLUZIONE INTERIORE: Il tuo primo atto di resilienza** **…“Viviamo in un mondo dove siamo tutti interconnessi, e quindi il bene o il male che facciamo a un altro finiamo per farlo a noi stessi. Bisogna quindi imparare a cooperare invece di competere indiscriminatamente. E se non ora quando?”... Federico Faggin** **Perché farlo:** Difronte alla **disintegrazione e al cinismo** la nostra risposta è **una rivoluzione interiore** che si esprime in **solidarietà e resistenza nonviolenta.** Qui alleniamo **azioni valide,** quelle che rafforzano l’unità interna e riducono contraddizione e sofferenza, dentro e fuori di noi. ### **🌱 IL NOSTRO PERCORSO SETTIMANALE è l'allenamento per la Doppia Rivoluzione: Interna e del mondo che ci circonda.** * **Pratiche di consapevolezza:** Impariamo a connetterci con la parte più vera e profonda di noi. * **Autoconoscenza:** Conosci te stesso, fai **pace** con il passato, **trasforma** il presente**, costruisci il futuro**. Qui rompiamo le catene della paura e della violenza che ci tengono bloccati. 🫂 **LA FORZA NELL'UNIONE: si cresce insieme!** * **RELAZIONI AUTENTICHE:** Spazi di ascolto sincero, condivisione e mutuo sostegno. **Non c’è rivoluzione senza comunità.** Ci alleniamo a compiere azioni che rafforzano l’unità e riducono la contraddizione, dentro e fuori di noi. * **PROGETTAZIONE E AZIONE SOLIDALE:** La nostra consapevolezza interiore si trasforma in **azione nonviolenta e solidale**. Insieme pensiamo e costruiamo iniziative concrete e comunità che sfidano la logica del potere e del consumo, riportando l'essere umano al centro. ### **Cosa troverai qui** * **Un cammino,** non un corso da seguire. Non si viene solo a “prendere”: qui si cresce insieme. **La Regola d’Oro come bussola etica.** * Un contesto del tutto non-confessionale e aperto a ogni forma di ateismo, spiritualità e provenienza religiosa. * **Un ambiente libero** dove puoi crescere davvero, uno spazio in cui crescano la gentilezza, il buon umore e la sincerità interiore. * **Persone con cui praticare, dialogare, fare nuove esperienze, condividere momenti di festa e di silenzio.** **🚫 Cosa NON è** * **❌ Non è psicoterapia** *** ### **🔄 Come partecipare** **Ci incontriamo ogni settimana a Roma e online.** **COME PRENOTARE: se interessati, oltre a segnarvi nell'evento, è FONDAMENTALE PRENOTARSI SU TELEGRAM o WHATSAPP al +393461476543** **POSTI: 20 (RSVP obbligatorio)** **QUANDO si svolge**: tutti i sabato dalle ore 11,00 alle 13,00. **A CHI E' RIVOLTO**: **a giovani fino a 30 anni di età.** **GLI EVENTI SONO GRATUITI**: tutte le attività sono gratuite, ma si richiede, dopo il primo incontro di prova, un contributo annuale di 20€ per coprire le spese per i materiali, i social, la sala e spese varie. **COSA PORTARE:** curiosità, rispetto, un quaderno dove annotare le difficoltà e i progressi.

Inoltre è consigliato indossare un abbigliamento comodo. **IL LUOGO**: Oxygene - Via san Tommaso D’Aquino 11a **Prenota ora il tuo posto, non rimandare.** **ACCADEMIA DELLA BUONA CONOSCENZA – Roma**

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.
