Lecture at the Journalists’ Training Course, promoted by Ucsi Marche, the Order of Journalists of Marche, and the University of Camerino, on “Ethics and Information in Pursuit of Truth” – Abbadia di Fiastra (Tolentino-Urbisaglia MC) – September 16, 2023.

“Take care of your thoughts, for they will become actions. Take care of your actions, for they will become habits.” As Gandhi wisely warned us, these enlightening words are echoed in Professor Anna Lisa Tota’s book “Ecologia del pensiero”, which reminds us that the former is a necessary precursor to the latter.

Interview for the magazine: https://www.greentomeet.com

What if pollution wasn’t limited to the physical environment but also affected the flow of our thoughts? What if those thoughts could become eco-thoughts that promote well-being for both ourselves and others? And what if all living beings, both animals and plants, could contribute to the eco-thought of the world? These are the reflections of sociologist Anna Lisa Tota, who invites us to reconsider how we choose and generate thoughts—ecological thoughts.

This video celebrates the 30th anniversary of Roma Tre University, featuring interviews with professors and institutional figures. Guided by a student born during the university’s development (Orazio Rotolo Schifone), a young man from the Ostiense neighbourhood who grew up alongside the university. With rare archival footage (from the Istituto Luce newsreels to amateur videos) and period photos, the documentary reconstructs the state of the Ostiense-Testaccio-Marconi area before the university’s founding: a post-industrial zone characterized by markets and slaughterhouses. With the founding of Roma Tre, everything changed: disused factories became university buildings. The documentary showcases these new “factories of culture” and features significant contributions from the Rector, Massimiliano Fiorucci, the General Director of Roma Tre, Pasquale Basilicata, former Mayor Francesco Rutelli, current Mayor Roberto Gualtieri, and the architects involved in the complex restructuring (Francesco Cellini, Andrea Vidotto, Paolo Desideri), as well as Vice Rectors Anna Lisa Tota and Mario De Nonno, Professor Elena Pettinelli, the president of the Eighth District, Amedeo Ciaccheri, Umberto Marroni, and special witnesses like the owner of the historic Ostiense venue “Il biondo Tevere,” and director Ferzan Özpetek, who made Ostiense a symbolic character in his films. Through interviews, testimonies, and reflections, the birth and development of a university that transformed the neighbourhood and the city are reconstructed, modifying its cultures and playing a major role in research and teaching with a broad and modern project. The video is directed by Vito Zagarrio, director and professor at Roma Tre, produced by the university, and created by Cavadaliga Film with the active support of Roma Tre’s Audiovisual Production Center.
