Monaco Weekly News by NEWS.MC - ep 53

This week, NEWS.MC TV brings you the highlights from Monaco and the surrounding region.We begin in Italy, where His Serene Highness Prince Albert II travelled to Dolceacqua on Friday, September 5, to honour the 40th anniversary of the town’s Civil Protection volunteers. The ceremony paid tribute to the courage and commitment of the thirty men and women who safeguard their community in times of crisis.In nearby Sanremo, fashion and history converged as the Sanremo Fashion Festival opened with a special exhibition dedicated to Prince Rainier III, celebrating Monaco’s royal heritage in the glamorous setting of the Casino.Back in the Principality, the 14th Monaco Book Fair took place at the Grimaldi Forum on September 6 and 7. The event brought together nearly 150 authors from 12 countries, offering visitors the chance to meet writers across genres — from novels and poetry to theatre and comics.Community spirit shone brightly on Sunday, September 7, when nearly 1,000 Monegasques gathered in Princess Antoinette Park for the annual Cavagnëtu. This beloved picnic tradition marks the end of summer and celebrates Monaco’s close-knit identity.The new academic year has also begun, with more than 5,600 students returning to classrooms across the Principality. At Lycée Albert Ier, the rentrée was particularly notable, as students and staff settled into temporary facilities at the Annonciade, while major renovations continue at the historic Monaco-Ville site.On September 9, Prince Albert II travelled to Roquefort-les-Pins to officially welcome the town into the network of Historic Grimaldi Sites of Monaco, reinforcing centuries-old bonds between the two communities.And on September 10, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin hosted the opening of the 14th Art-Bre Festival. Held in the Parc des Oliviers in the presence of Prince Albert II, this year’s edition pays tribute to the oceans and honours Virginie Heriot, the trailblazing French sailor and the first woman to win an Olympic medal in sailing in 1928.This week, NEWS.MC TV is joined by Marc Mourou, leader of Generation Monaco. In an exclusive interview, he discusses the priorities of his political movement, the role of youth in shaping the Principality’s future, and his vision for a modern and dynamic Monaco.Subscribe to our free daily newsletter: https://news.mc/newsletterFollow us on Xhttps://x.com/monacodailynewsProduced in association with  @MonacoInfo  Copyright © 2025 NEWS SARL.
