June 8, 1901, seven thirty pm: Elisa and Marcela get married in the church of San Jorge, La Coruña.

On that warm day at the end of spring, not only a wedding was celebrated, but an event of historic importance: the one between Elisa and Marcella was the first legal marriage between two people of the same sex.

More than a century later, that marriage has never been annulled either by the Church or by the civil registry.

The show "Spose - Le nozze del secolo" brings to the stage the true love story - adventurous and picaresque, tragic and ironic at the same time - of two women who, despite the judgment of the law and public opinion of the time, they managed with a creative act of will and courage to defend their freedom and identity, their inalienable right to pursue happiness.

The extreme relevance of the topic covered, combined with the originality of an evocative, brilliant and profound dramaturgy, pushes us to want to make the unique and universal story of Elisa and Marcela known, bringing it to the stage for the first time. Directed by Matteo Tarasco.

The Cause

The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Italia (RFK Italia) has been operating for more than 15 years. The objective of the association is to involve and inspire the conscience of individuals in the fight for human rights, raising awareness in the community about the abuses taking place in the world. There are countless concrete commitments implemented:

One of the main activities is human rights education. From 2008 to today it has trained more than 500,000 Italian students and 2,011 teachers thanks also to Law 92/2019 which provided for the inclusion of civic education. Thus, since 2020 RFK Italia has launched "CivicAttiva: civic education at school. Stories, values and faces" an online course aimed at school teachers of all levels that addressed various topics with a transversal approach. The fight against bullying and cyberbullying is also an important commitment for the Association.

RFK Human Rights Italia also proposes, through the Bobby's Dream project, long-term strategies to be adopted in the second phase of welcoming migrants. It supports the implementation of real and responsible projects, which favor the process of integrating vulnerable people into the world of work. It promotes initiatives with the aim of establishing an effective dialogue between institutions, the business community and NGOs.

Faced with the Covid-19 emergency which has affected the entire country since February 2020 and, following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, RFK Italia felt the strong need to make itself even more available to the community by giving life to the Community project. The International House, located in Florence, consists of 12 rooms and hosted Red Cross healthcare personnel from May 2020 to June 2021 and, following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Ukrainian refugees.
