Nicolò Govoni brings to Borgo Maggiore’s Teatro Concordia the story of his commitment to children’s education. On Thursday, November 12 at 9 p.m., “L’uomo che costruiva il futuro” (“The Man Who Built the Future”) will take the stage — a show he both wrote and performs, directed by Gioia Battista and presented by San Marino Teatro.
The story begins with a teenager once labelled “difficult” who, at the age of twenty, decides to leave everything behind. His journey takes him through volunteer work in a refugee camp and leads, in 2018, to the founding of Still I Rise, alongside Giulia Cicoli and Sarah Ruzek.
On stage, Govoni retraces the encounters, obstacles and choices that led him to build an organization dedicated to opening and running schools for minors in emergency and vulnerable situations, from Syria to Kenya and on to Colombia.
His work also has ties to San Marino. In 2020, Councillor Sara Conti put forward his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2023, Conti and Councillor Giuseppe Maria Morganti backed a nomination for the entire organization.
Tickets are available online through the San Marino Teatro website or at the Concordia on the evening of the performance. Admission costs 20 euros, with a reduced rate of 10 euros for students under 25. For information, call 0549 882452.
