Welcome Ceremony and Congress Opening – SICMF 2025

The event on June 12, 2025, at 7:00 PM at the Court Theatre of the Royal Palace of Naples in Piazza del Plebiscito will mark the official opening of the 25th Congress of the Italian Society of Maxillofacial Surgery. It will also be an opportunity to honor our mentor, Luigi Califano.
In the presence of numerous dignitaries, who will extend their greetings to the Congress participants, His Eminence Domenico Battaglia, Cardinal of the Archdiocese of Naples, will officially open the event and commemorate the scientific and human legacy of Luigi Califano.
The event will feature a narrated performance by Lello Giulivo, accompanied on piano by Maestro Alessandro Massa, and a stunning sand-art performance by Stefania Bruno, who will use the magic of sand to transform words into images.
Following this, a documentary will be screened, produced by Martin in collaboration with the Italian Society of Maxillofacial Surgery and MAD Entertainment. The documentary traces the fascinating history of our discipline, from the First World War to the present day. This highly anticipated work was strongly desired by Prof. Califano and serves as a testament to the long journey of individuals and events that have enabled scientific and social progress.
The event will conclude with a welcome cocktail.
