dc.description.abstract	The last weekend of March 2019, Verona was at the center of media attention for having hosted the XIII World Congress of Families (WCF). However, the feminist response to this ultra-conservative and religious event became the true news. The transnational feminist movement Non Una Di Meno (NUDM) organized a three-day mobilization that included the biggest march in the history of Verona and had a strong impact on public opinion. This article offers an analysis of those days and the local politics that allowed them to take place. It argues that the WCF and NUDM are two opposite models of activism based on Super Political Action Committees (Super PACs) and solidarity, respectively.
