Lisa Fitoussi will gladly say a few words of remembrance of her father and his friendship with Phelps before the Fitoussi lecture

Every year with the Jean-Paul Fitoussi Seminar, the Festival dell 'Economia intends to deal with wide-ranging issues, thus contributing - in the spirit of the late French economist - to indicate what policies and reforms are necessary to make contemporary economies more inclusive, not sacrificing growth but directing it towards a more equitably distributed and environmentally friendly well-being.

Keynote speech

The stage of Teatro Sociale has been graced by the likes of Arturo Toscanini and Enrico Caruso. It has played host to Italy’s finest operas and plays, not to mention dance shows, New Year’s Eve parties and political rallies. A splendid example of Italian-style theatre, from 1819 until the 1960s, it served as the main backdrop of the city’s cultural scene. In 2000, after being purchased by the province and significant restoration works, it was returned to its former glory.
The stalls, three floors of boxes and the gallery can seat up to 670 people, while the elegant rooms of the adjoining Palazzo Festi are often used for meetings and conferences.To attend the events at Teatro Sociale, you can collect the entry tickets directly at the venue starting two hours before the event begins.
