On 14 February at the Belvedere Jannacci in Palazzo Pirelli in Milan, Fondazione Collegio della Guastalla Onlus, with the patronage of the Regional Council of Lombardy and the Order of Journalists of Lombardy, organised a special event to celebrate the memory of Carlotta Dessì, a talented journalist who died prematurely at the age of just 34.
In order to concretely pass on her style and journalistic spirit, the Foundation has set up the ‘Carlotta Dessì’ scholarship, which will award one or more trainees of the ‘Walter Tobagi’ School of Journalism in Milan who will present in the coming months a video-report or an essay inspired by Carlotta’s work, always in defence of the weakest and animated by a deep sense of justice. A seed that will grow over time, transforming memory into concrete opportunities for young people who want to undertake this profession with the same ethical and authentic spirit.
Supporting the Foundation in organising the event was an intense and emotional experience for us. It was a day that was not merely a remembrance of a young communications professional who stood out for her determination, professionalism and humanity, but a concrete opportunity to continue Carlotta’s dream, with the aim of cultivating an authentic journalism that is free and at the service of the common good.
We followed every stage of this project with the energy and enthusiasm that such a significant initiative deserves. The result was a touching event, well attended and full of valuable contributions from journalists, institutions and Carlotta’s loved ones. We are grateful to the Guastalla Foundation for having entrusted us with the story of this initiative, and to the media who helped to give it resonance. But above all, we are proud to have put our work at the service of a project that year after year will contribute to inspiring the journalists of tomorrow.
BTS Biogas is a leading company in the renewable energy sector for over 25 years, which makes know-how its strong point. Hence the continuous commitment to innovation and research, to make processes more efficient and solve critical issues.
One of the projects being pursued in this field is ‘InnoDaBio’. Presented a few days ago at the University of Padua – one of the partners in the project together with the Cariverona Foundation and the multi-utility ETRA SpA benefit company – the project has a two-year duration and aims to optimise the yield of bioplastics into biogas. The ultimate goal is to reduce waste to zero and produce new energy by using what ends up in the wet waste stream, including that in our homes, more easily and quickly.
‘We are very happy to participate in this project, which will allow us to define innovative methodologies to improve the treatment of organic waste as well as to develop, on a pilot scale, the most efficient digestion technology for the conversion of bioplastics into biogas,’ says Franco Lusuriello, CEO of BTS Biogas. – Know-how is our strength, and it is crucial for us to participate in initiatives that allow us to make progress in this direction.’
At Consilium are happy to support a company that makes the circular economy its business by demonstrating a clear and serious commitment to sustainability.

An event by the Senza Veli sulla lingua Association
An event dedicated to drugs and getting out of addiction was held yesterday Monday, January 15, 2024, at Palazzo Lombardia in Milan. A meeting part of the “No more Silence” Project dedicated to schools, by SVSL (Senza Veli sulla Lingua), an association that fights for gender equality, against violence against women, which also promotes the development of greater awareness of primary and secondary school students, in collaboration with the Lombardy Region. To do this, the association organizes, throughout the country, meetings with testimonies from people who have lived through difficult experiences themselves, for the formation of culture and knowledge.
Each event, included within the Project, aims to analyze the psychological, legal and sociological side of the subject matter, touching on points of extreme topicality. In the meeting, faced with the drama of the percentages related to young students who use drugs, there were questions about the causes, consequences, including criminal ones, and hypotheses of paths of “exit from the tunnel.”
Speakers present at the event
Among the guests were Sonia Bedeschi. Speakers included Ebla Ahmed, national president of the Senza Veli sulla Lingua Association; Giorgia Benusiglio, author of the book “Vuoi trasgredire? Non Fart I,” who firsthand entered the abyss of addiction and after risking her own life decided to dedicate it to raising awareness on the issue; Silvia Bassi, a psychologist who is an expert in criminology and clinical and forensic psychodiagnostics; and Giuseppe Lanfranco, legal counselor, who detailed the legal consequences to which one incurs in using or being found in possession of drugs.
