Organized in Verona in March 2019, the XIII World Congress of Families (WCF) marks the endpoint of a cycle of mobilization that began, in Italy, between 2012 and 2013. This cycle first started in the ranks of the dissident movement for life gathered around the March for Life (Italian version); it further developed with the establishment of a new association, La Manif Pour Tous Italia (later to become Generazione Famiglia), and eventually turned out to be decisive for the planning of the ‘anti-gender’ mobilization.
The last of a series of conferences on life, family or ‘gender ideology’ held in Verona, the XIII WCF is supported by a city (co-organizer of the event) where it could find the official endorsement of the local, the provincial and the regional government, alongside that of the vice-president of the Council and Minister of the Interior, Matteo Salvini, and the Minister for Family and Disability, Lorenzo Fontana, all representatives of the League party.
