i am not 100% certain but i would say it translates as

"go to the Scala, on the 3rd of March..."?

I've got an idea, but it makes no sense in my head. Perhaps in context it would? Dunno, anyway, try Google Translation Tool (http://translate.google.com/translate_t).

cheers Lurch - at least I know its referring to a date now and its ok to have on a wall in case any italians happen to be visitin my house!

Its just a poster Ive gotten hold of. The image is quite old - its of a woman getting out of traditional dress and donning a pair of trousers. Hence the feminism phrase probably...

Not 100% certain either, but I think Plain Talker's got it right.

3 marzo is definitely 3rd of March, and La Scala is the opera house in Milan.

Sounds like an advertisement poster for some (feminist?) event at La Scala. Shouldn't offend too many Italians?! :D
