In July and August 2025, the Certosa Monumental Cemetery in Bologna turned into a stage for "Pen, Bread and Justice", a theatrical play celebrating equality, solidarity, and civic responsibility.

Directed by Giovanna Manfredini and produced by Associazione Rimacheride, the performance told the stories of three Bolognese figures who shaped society: a trailblazing advocate for women’s rights, a socialist mayor emphasizing community and daily labor, and a WWII activist who saved countless lives through courage and solidarity.

Part of the Certosa 2025 Summer Calendar and the ASCE "Significant Cemeteries for Sustainable Europe" initiative, the show aligns with the Goal 16 of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
