No summer doldrums for the ICBIE community in Rome! This weekend, two separate events, one in the city and one on the beach, will continue to bring our people together.
On Friday night, there’s a benefit concert to support the project of two ICBIE volunteers who will be traveling to Salvador next month. This brainchild of Tess and Sabi, The Story Instinct, is a unique course designed specifically for ICBIE students, combining writing, drawing, acting, music, dance, film and photography, to enable the students to vividly recount their experiences. The girls are raising funds to purchase equipment and materials for this exciting project, and Friday’s event is the culmination of their efforts, offering a cornucopia of musical delights at the Barnum Café, a trendy locale near Campo de’ fiori, at Via del Pellegrino, 87, from 7 PM to 2 AM. An incredible lineup of emerging Roman musicians will animate the evening, with Gianmarco Dottori, Nathalie, Vittorio Pagano, Luca Bellanova, Elisa Pezzuto, Sgabellos, Dario Chiricozzi, Francesca Bei, Diego Marchesi, Glover, Giulia Fattorini and A.W.I., among others! Admission is free and drinks will have a €2 surcharge that will go to The Story Instinct. There will also be an auction of demos and discs of the artists.

On Saturday night, it’s back to the beach, to Porto di Enea (Capocotta) for the fourth consecutive ICBIE party, this time presenting the group Escola de Samba Roma-Rio and DJAmião.
