Activity on the City Council
On 9 November 2026 Laura Adduce presents a motion to Rivoli's City Council for the installation of a purple bench, a symbol used to raise awareness of fibromyalgia, a chronic condition that causes persistent pain, fatigue and difficulty in daily life, often invisible from the outside. [1][2]
The motion's text is not limited to requesting the piece of street furniture, but proposes a broader awareness programme: an information plaque next to the bench, public meetings with health professionals, the involvement of patient associations, and citywide information campaigns, to be launched to coincide with World Fibromyalgia Day, held on 12 May. [1][2]
Presenting the initiative, Adduce states: «It is not acceptable that those who suffer also have to fight to be believed. Pain does not need to be visible to be real». She also stresses that the motion's goal is not an isolated symbolic gesture but concrete, ongoing attention from the institutions: «We cannot erase the illness with a bench, but we can help erase indifference». [1][2]
The initiative fits into a regional context in which Piedmont has recognised fibromyalgia as a chronic, disabling condition through a unanimous vote at Palazzo Lascaris. [2]
