Rome, 9 Oct. (LaPresse) – “Culture has always been, everywhere, a driver of personal and social growth, making a substantial contribution to building a country’s social capital. Italy’s history has ensured that culture is – as well as the foundation of civilisation, with its vast heritage of art, memory and knowledge – the strongest defining feature of a platform for dialogue with the world and for the world, in the universality of its message. The title chosen for your National Conference, ‘Italy is culture’, is a prime example of this.” So said the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, in a message sent to Flavia Piccoli Nardelli, President of the AICI (Association of Italian Cultural Institutions), on the occasion of the 10th National Conference entitled ‘Italy and culture. Thirty years of the institutions’ history: achievements and new challenges’.
