Best of all, travel advisors and passengers will likely see a full cruise industry recovery in 2023.

Trillargento – Music as a Human Right

Trillargento is a not for profit organization that works through musical education for the inclusion and skills development of children and teenagers who live in a situation of socio-economic, cultural, psychological, emotional and educational hardship and/or disability. Our mission is to create a permanent social change in some of the most deprived communities in Genoa – a town in Northern Italy; we’re inspired by the music-pedagogical experience of El Sistema, conceived in Venezuela by J.A.Abreu in 1975 and then spread throughout many countries of the world.
