PAST
EVENT

Not everyone knows that rutilism is the characteristic of people to have red hair; for charity it is not a disease, but a characteristic, to be precise, genetic, which according to a study conducted by the University of Oxford and Edinburgh would allow people who have it to have hair with this pigmentation.

It must also be said that people with red hair have very light and delicate skin, so if they go to Favignana on June 8th for their world gathering, they have to be very careful about sun exposure to avoid unpleasant burns.
Seriously, the event called "Read Head Sicily" will be very funny with many musical events and will inaugurate the summer season in the largest of the Egadi.

Read Head Sicily is the first edition of this important gathering and practically it will be a day of celebration with music, parade with street bands and photographic contests to talk about clear skins and the potential risks deriving from exposure to the sun.

What will be done in Favignana, for some time, is done in other countries such as France, England, Germany, Holland and Ireland, while in Italy it is the second time since the Milan experience.

The organization, however, this year, decided to come to Favignana, because it is known worldwide for Cala Rossa, so named because it is told in history books that the sea turned red, precisely because of the blood spilled during the first bloody battle of 241 BC

The program of the event includes the inauguration in Piazza Camperia of the village "Rossi a primavera" on Saturday morning, while from there a parade of participants will wind up to Piazza Matrice.

In the afternoon there will be a lot of music with amateurs on stage and those who decide to spend the weekend in Favignana, will be able to participate in sunset cocktails on the beach, right in front of the former Florio factory.

In the center of the country, instead, participants will be able to taste the food and wine specialties at convenient prices in the affiliated structures that will exhibit the Rhs logo.

Beyond leisure and entertainment, there are moments of reflection and discussion on the concept of preventing melanoma and other skin diseases thanks to the presence of numerous doctors and consultants who will be available to all.
