AQUILA (ITALPRESS) – “The immense value of culture is even more evident in this historical period in a world where there are many reasons for concern, wars, will of dominion over others, predatory strategies that we thought archived from the twentieth century are reappeared with their load of death and devastation. Culture is the main tool of coexistence, dialogue, commitment and common research and therefore of peace.” Thus the president of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, during the inaugural ceremony of L’Aquila 2026 Italian Capital of Culture.
“The role of Capital of Culture is not exclusive to institutions, concerns the community, the community, L’Aquila, the province, the Region, is an opportunity and an opportunity for growth in knowledge and encounter. A greeting to all the eagles and young people so that they can draw stimuli and values to fruit for the future of their communities. Culture is the engine and the glue of civilizations,” added the head of the state.
“Culture is the rejection of every hostile force you try to compress humanism. We must be able to draw inspiration from our roots – Mattarella continued – L’Aquila, capital of forgiveness, is therefore ‘capital of peace and reconciliation’, so Pope Francis said during his visit in August 2022. There is so much need for this seed in the world in which we find ourselves, a seed that can make even more precious and fascinating the year of Capital of Italian Culture that this city impersonates and interprets”, he added.
