Forgiveness and the extraordinary message of peace of Pope Celestine V will now have an instrument of international diffusion. In fact, the book of journalist and writer Angelo De Nicola was translated into English, “The First Jubilee of History” (One Group Editions), an operation made possible by the support of Banca del Fucino.
The new edition “The first Jubilee in history” will be presented, not by chance, in the Senate in Rome, on November 6th at 10:30 at the splendid Sala Zuccari of Palazzo Giustiniani (via della Dogana Vecchia, 29). To the event, promoted by the Senator of Abruzzo Etel Sigismondi, will intervene, in addition to the proposer and the author, Guido Quintino Liris – Senator of the Republic; Pierluigi Biondi – Mayor of the Eagle; S. E. Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio – President emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts; Fabrizio Marinelli – President Fondazione Carispaq; Alberto Leonardis – SAE President; Paride Vitale – Director General Extra Association; Mauro Masi – Chairman Banca del Fucino; Francesca Pompa – President One Group Edizioni e Lino Del Signore – translator of the volume. He will coordinate: Ersilia Lancia, Councillor for Tourism of the Municipality of L’Aquila.
“After thirty presentations throughout Italy – says the publisher Francesca Pompa – in prestigious contexts such as in Campidoglio in Rome, at the Salone del Libro in Turin, at the Festival of the Middle Ages in Gubbio, in Naples, Caserta, Isernia, Ferentino etc., and that will see its final event in December in the frame of Madonna di Campiglio (Trento), we considered indispensable this international opening especially in light of the enormous interest aroused everywhere.
«The ancient pilgrimage of Pope Francis – says Angelo De Nicola -, on August 28, 2022, to open the Holy Door of the basilica of Santa Maria di Collemaggio, has finally put in place that deserves in history that “poor Christian” of Celestino V. And it has elevated Perdonance, already an Intangible Heritage of Humanity, as a fundamental resource as “the first Jubilee of history”, promoting the city of L’Aquila to “Capital of Forgiveness”. Other than Celestine as “he did for viltade the great refusal!”.
“Banca del Fucino has always been close to initiatives that enhance the culture, history and identity of the territories in which it operates. Supporting the realization of this work means contributing to the world the universal message of peace and reconciliation of Celestino V, deeply linked to the city of L’Aquila and Abruzzo. In view of 2026, when L’Aquila will be the Italian Capital of Culture, we believe that promoting Perdonance at an international level is a concrete way to reaffirm the value of roots and memory as instruments of collective growth,” says Mauro Masi, Chairman of Banca del Fucino.
