Florence, 4 Nov. (LaPresse) – “In Florence, the urgency of the crisis became fully apparent. A society founded on the primacy of the individual cannot fail to regard the protection of the environment and the safety of communities in the face of disasters as a shared commitment. This is a challenge, but also a duty for the institutions, which have responded over time, albeit with difficulty and uncertainty. Ambitious public policies, however, always require the support of solidarity networks and a sense of community. In Florence, this was demonstrated.” These were the words of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, this afternoon at Palazzo Vecchio, whilst speaking at the ceremony marking the 60th anniversary of the Florence flood.
