Sports, Music, Dance, and Solidarity playfully merged in the rowing event on the Tiber for women suffering from breast cancer in support of RosaRemo, the association that allows women with this terrible disease to practice rowing.
The jovial race was supported and animated by athletes, such as the world champion of Rowing for the Navy, Antonio Vicino, and the Director and Performer, Francesca Chialà, founder of the FESTA of the 7 ARTS, the artistic movement that brings together musicians, singers, dancers, visual artists, actors, poets belonging to all the arts that are contaminated with each other and with Sport, to promote human, social and environmental rights.
The objective of the event is also to shed light on the world of Disability represented by the swimming athlete Salvatore Cimmino who, with one leg, continues to perform heroic feats to keep the attention of the Institutions on the over 13 million disabled people in Italy and support the proposed law, deposited in the Senate Health Commission that equates the disabled in life and work.
Chialà has organized several artistic Performances on the Tiber to support RosaRemo and disseminate that rowing is the most effective sport to prevent and fight breast cancer, as well as reducing the percentages of relapses, as has been demonstrated in clinical practice by several oncologists.
The Rowing Chicchetto is the name of the event, which has become an annual appointment for all rowing enthusiasts that involves the most important Clubs of the Capital. The boat that consumes the most glasses of bubbles that finance the RosaRemo Association, founded by the television costume designer Simona Lavazza, wins. Not even the rain has stopped the desire to unite charity and fun and the many boats have challenged each other until the last prosecco!
The final award ceremony took place on the oldest Rowing Club in Rome, the floating San Giorgio of the Royal Tiber Rowing Club and turned into a big music and dance party.
Even the world champion Antonio Vicino got involved in the dance to strongly support his closeness to women with breast cancer. And the Athlete Salvatore Cimmino joined the playful dances to demonstrate that disability does not exist, it is only our mental construction, crystallized in society, that must be dismantled with the power of the 7 arts intertwined with different sports.
"Out of over 13 million disabled people in Italy, 1 in 3 are in conditions of poverty and this is unacceptable", says Chialà who continues: "we must unite our forces to push the Parliament to approve the proposed law that would give the disabled in life the same rights as people with disabilities due to accidents at work, under discussion in the Senate Health Commission. We must keep the attention of the media and citizens high because very few parliamentary initiative bills see the light during an entire legislature and, even less, obtain economic coverage from the Government but this is a battle of civility that we must all fight together and win!".
