Acqui Terme will host a flash mob against violence against women on Sunday, November 8, 2026, starting at 15:00 local time from Piazza Italia. The event, organized by the municipality’s Equal Opportunities department, aims to raise awareness and promote the national anti-violence and stalking hotline number 1522.
Flash Mob Route and Activities
The flash mob, titled “Stop alla violenza,” will feature itinerant performances by local sports associations Asd Charly Brown, Freedom Clique, Spazio Libero, and Studio Danza My Balance, in collaboration with Noi CuoreGiovane. The corteo will move through the city via moments of dance and sharing, aiming to draw attention to an issue that requires constant commitment from institutions and the entire community.
The procession will conclude in Piazza Bollente, where a choreographed video titled “Stop alla violenza” will be filmed. This video is intended to spread awareness of the 1522 number, a free public utility service for women victims of violence and stalking. Participation in the choreography is open to everyone; a tutorial is available online to learn the steps before joining the group.
Officials Support Awareness Campaign
