3 November 2026 | Palazzo Cipolla On 3 November, Riflessi opens a new chapter, placing the theme of Peace at the heart of the evening. An occasion to pause, listen and reflect on the meaning of peace in our time, through dialogue and music. This evening's guest will be Giovanni Grasso, while Federica Leepuma will accompany the conversation with her musical performance. The event will be hosted by Daniele Pitteri, joined by co-host Gioia Salvatori. Giovanni Grasso (Rome, 1962), journalist and writer, has served since 2015 as Press and Communications Adviser to the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella. His literary work, poised between history and invention, explores human emotions in the face of the darkest chapters of the twentieth century. He has also written for the stage, with Fuoriusciti, Il caso Kaufmann and L'amore non lo vede nessuno, performed in leading theatres across Italy. Federica Leepuma began studying singing at the age of 12 and went on to refine her skills with renowned artists. She performs in Italy and abroad at festivals, concert series and major theatres, and has collaborated with musicians such as Paolo Damiani, Rosario Giuliani, Enrico Zanisi, Maria Pia De Vito and Roy Hargrove. In 2022 she was hosted by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Lima for an artist residency, during which she created the project LeePuma encuentra Lima 9et. In 2023 the project made its Italian debut at the Bari in Jazz Festival. In 2025 she presented new projects, both solo and with LeePuma Vol.1, performing at venues including the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome and the Teatro Manzoni in Pistoia. In January 2026 she brought LeePuma Vol.1 to the Casa del Jazz in Rome. She works regularly as a performer, teacher and music educator, and devotes herself to composition and to experimental research into the use of the voice.
