The managing director of Osservatorio Socialis – a newspaper and a study centre dedicated to social responsibility and sustainable development – is the 28th guest of Cittadellarte’s initiative “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy”. Roberto Orsi reflects on the post-pandemic society, specifying how Covid-19 has led to a new economic and existential vision of the world. “There’ll be a ‘before and after the Coronavirus,” he claimed, “the way there’s been a before and after Christ, a before and after the fall of the Roman Empire, a before and after the Second World War”. His contribution also focuses on the type of work his organisation will carry out, identifying three macro-objectives: promoting ‘sustainable stories’, supporting university projects, helping organisations build their new approach based on the platform www.csrcheck.it.

The Rebirth/Third Paradise ambassador and anthropologist (as well as curator and film director) is the 27th guest of “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy”, launched by Cittadellarte. Giorgio de Finis reflects on the impact the pandemic has had on social relations, and in particular on the change cities all over the world have gone through as a consequence of the spreading of Covid-19. “It’s undeniable,” he said, “that the virus has breached through the ‘social body’, causing, to different degrees but globally, a withdrawal in ourselves, a raising of shields, a diffidence that has been somehow justified as a slowing down, a taking time to reassess priorities, choose and ponder”.

The art of balance #26 | Edoardo Marcenaro, how will you judge? The business jurist is the 26th guest of Cittadellarte’s initiative “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy”. Edoardo Marcenaro talks about how the ‘judging’ activity has continued throughout the pandemic, explaining how the world of arbitration (“a form of dispute resolution more and more used at national and international levels as an alternative to the ordinary legislation of the single countries”) has never stopped. The guest of this episode then looks to the future of his field of competence and explains how technology has assumed a crucial role in it during the lockdown: “The European Union has created the European Small Claims Procedure and the main arbitration institutions have help desks dedicated to Online Dispute Resolution: artificial intelligence automatically analyses the dispute and proposes a solution to the parties, if this is accepted you only need to press ‘Enter’ for it to be formalised”.

The art of balance #23 | Giorgio Ravasio, how will you dress? The country manager of Vivienne Westwood is the 23rd guest of the initiative “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy”, launched by Cittadellarte. Giorgio Ravasio discusses the impact the post-pandemic will have in the world of fashion, anticipating a new approach in customers’ buying habits (“we will experience a different kind of shopping, more careful, based on a more informed selective process, on deeper reflections and, I’m guessing, with a presumption of being more relevant in the choice of the product”) and a change of direction by the brands in order to adapt to this new attitude (“Detoxified, by law, from compulsive consumerism, we’ll probably go back to shopping with new eyes and we will expect more than before. We’ll demand to perceive a true company culture”). Here are his reflections. Redazione, 09/06/2020 Read more
