Great success for the conference ‘Women’s Wellbeing and Longevity. Awareness as a Social Value’, organized by the Aila Foundation (Italian Association for the Fight against Osteoarthritis) at the historic site of the Curia Iulia in the Roman Forum, heart of the Colosseum Archaeological Park. The conference was opened by Alfonsina Russo, Head of the Department for the Enhancement of Cultural Heritage of the Ministry of Culture, who granted the historic site at the Roman Forum, and by Beatrice Lorenzin, Senator of the Republic and former Minister of Health. Also speaking were professors Roberto Verna, clinical pathologist, oncologist Francesco Cognetti, Cinzia Marchese, expert in regenerative medicine, gynecologist Pierluigi Benedetti Panici, Daniela Prosperi, nuclear medicine doctor, Sabina Saccomanno, specialist in wellness medicine, and Mauro Racaniello, from Farmindustria. ‘Health is preserved and cared for,’ says Russo, ‘also through art. And this magnificent venue underlines the value of culture as wellbeing. And it is wonderful that here we talk about the value of women’s health.’ ‘There is still a lot of confusion about women’s health,’ says Lorenzin, ‘In particular, we need to focus on diagnostics and then therapy.’ The conference initiative, highly topical due to the aging of the population, a record in our country with a population over 65 of about 26% according to the latest ISTAT notes, is part of the activities promoted by Aila, chaired by Professor Francesco Bove, on the occasion of the presentation of the ‘Women’s Project’ Award, which will be awarded on June 23, 2025, at the Temple of Venus and Rome. This event highlights the commitment and innovation of women in the fields of health, research, and wellbeing. The conference aimed to provide a unique opportunity for scientific and cultural exchange on the topic of female wellbeing and longevity, promoting a new collective awareness of the importance of prevention, research, and the enhancement of women’s health at all stages of life. ‘Population aging,’ explains Bove, ‘is a well-documented phenomenon in continuous development with profound impacts on the economy, welfare, and society, primarily involving women. The concept of awareness as a social value refers to collective awareness on issues relevant to societal wellbeing such as health and the environment. This awareness is essential to promoting positive and sustainable changes within communities. In the social sphere, awareness represents the ability to recognize and understand issues, facilitating the adoption of responsible and supportive behaviors on topics such as women’s health.’
