In particular, on November 19th, ecological Sunday is intended to be an opportunity to create a great event in the iconic setting of Via dei Fori Imperiali, relaunching a traditional bond that links the heart of the historic city to ecological Sundays.Through the tender, a program of events will be built that will take place at four different locations from 10am to 7pm which includes, for example, musical shows, street band performances and activities that recall issues related to air quality.

“After the great success of 'Blue Saturday', a day dedicated to urban walking which took place last 14 October, we wanted to continue these awareness-raising actions on environmental issues and, in particular, on improving air quality by removing the opportunity of Sundays ecological to make them moments of participation and involvement of the city through shows, musical events and workshops for adults and children.We therefore hope for great participation in the Zètema call for proposals with quality project proposals that will make the Sundays of November 19th and December 3rd two days of celebration and reflection on the importance that our behavior has in improving the quality of the air we breathe. on which our health and the quality of life in the city depends", declared Sabrina Alfonsi, councilor for Agriculture, Environment and Waste Cycle of the capital Rome.
