PORTOFINO (GENOVA) (ITALPRESS) – Over three thousand appearances in two days, Portofino transformed into a meeting point between politics, enterprise and institutions and a parterre that brought together ministers, presidents of Region, parliamentarians, entrepreneurs and managers. The Portofino Talks, organized by Philia Associates, close the second edition with record numbers and, above all, with a final day full of news: from health to former Ilva, from security to security, to technology and industrial sovereignty. Before a final all entrusted to the music and memory of Gino Paoli.
Exciting tribute to the Genoese singer-songwriter, with the delivery of the Portofino Award to the Paoli family, the first official recognition organized to his memory. On stage the children Amanda Sandrelli and Nicolò Paoli, protagonists of a talk conducted by Margherita Rubino and accompanied to the piano by the master Andrea Bacchetti.
“It is deeply exciting to receive a recognition to my father’s memory – Amanda Sandrelli told us – because it bears witness to the affection and gratitude of the public, who have always been fundamental to him. He did not love the awards or celebrations, but I think it is right to gather today what he sowed through his music, his curiosity and his authentic relationship with people. Five months after his disappearance, this affection moves us and allows us to keep alive the bond between him and his audience.”.
Since the second day there has also come a concrete novelty for Ligurian health. To announce it was the Regional Councillor Massimo Nicolò: Liguria wants to experience the “condomain nurse”, bringing health care directly inside the large residential complexes. The project plans to use former concierges or other premises today unused to create small outpatients in which the nurses of family and community will operate. The goal is to reach above all the large elderly population of the region, allowing the nurses to assist people in their apartments or residents to find a health station a few floors from home.
The experimentation will start from Genoa and should then involve at least one condominium for each Ligurian province. Nicolò also indicated a first deadline: by the end of the year the Region aims to activate the project in a large Genoese condominium, with a basin of a few hundred residents. The family nurses and community nurses already working on home care will be working there, with the possibility of recourse to new recruits if staff were not enough.
On the future of the National Health Service the comparison dedicated to supplementary health welfare was also focused. Senator Francesco Zaffini, President of the 10th Commission for Social Affairs, Health, Public and Private Work, Social Welfare, announced that the Commission’s cognitive survey on supplementary health is now close to the conclusion and should be translated into a resolution in the coming weeks. “The reform of supplementary health is no longer just appropriate, but indispensable – Zaffini explained. We need to preserve a health service that provides approximately two million daily benefits, but we must intervene on the inappropriate benefits that feed the waiting lists and the unevenness that still exist in the delivery of essential levels of assistance.”.
Among the politically most anticipated interventions that of the President of the Senate Ignazio LaRussia, who from the stage of Portofino has faced several issues of national current affairs. Speaking of the tensions in the wide field, the Russian interpreted the recent outings of Beppe Grillo as an element that, in his opinion, would make evident a “manor of power” within the alliance and also distanced from the positions of Roberto Vannacci. The Russian was among the guests of the morning session, also dedicated to infrastructure, transport and development.
Liguria also protagonist with the president of the Region Marco Bucci, that on the former Ilva has welcomed the hypothesis of the Italian cordta interested in the plants, emphasizing in particular the possible relapses for Cornigliano and Novi Ligure. “I would be very pleased,” he explained, highlighting the need to ensure continuity in the supply of plants. Bucci also announced that in the Monothematic Regional Council dedicated to the former Ilva next Tuesday the proposal of a permanent working table will be advanced to follow the Ligurian match in agreement with the national one.
The day widened its gaze far beyond the Ligurian dossiers. MEP Letizia Moratti has reasoned on the role of Europe in an international transformation scenario, while the University and Research Minister Anna Maria Bernini, together with Professor Matteo Bassetti, addressed the theme of research and training. Then security and politics: Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi dedicated his speech to the new frontiers of security, while the Minister Eugenia Roccella participated in the discussion on political communication together with Paola Ferazzoli, Giulia Di Stefano and Francesca De Martino.
One of the leading threads of the second day of Portofino Talks was that of innovation, declined not only as a growth engine but as a strategic issue for the country. In the comparison of “Technology, Security and Sovereignty”, the president of AIAD Giuseppe Cossiga spoke with Davide Fazio, Chief Commercial Officer of Leonardo. The theme then expanded with “Technology and Growth: an Italian model”, putting around the same table the president of NETGROUP Giuseppe Mocerino, Mirko Costantino, general manager and CEO of AMM, Massimiliano Buonocore, founding partner of BSG, Giancarlo Gargiulo, managing director and CFO of Optima Italia, and Alessio Lechiara, chief executive officer of Econocom Holding Italy.
“The real industrial challenge of the coming years is not only played on how much technology we will be able to put in the field, but on how much we will be able to keep control – said Giuseppe Mocerino –. Being masters of your data and algorithms means staying masters of your decisions. For our productive fabric, made especially of small and medium enterprises and supply chains, cybersecurity is now a condition of growth”.
Also open to investments and real estate with Optimum Asset Management, independent European asset manager specializing in alternative investments. “Portofino is an ideal setting to discuss how capital and real estate can accompany the growth and transformation of the territories”, said Andrea Suriano and Enrico Imbraguglio, partner of the group.
The closure of today has completed a two days that already Friday had put to the center energy, competitiveness, industry, health, tourism, sport and public administration. The Minister of Economy
Giancarlo Giorgetti, connected by the Ecofin in Dublin, had indicated in the energy shock a new economic emergency, while Antonio Gozzi, president of Federacciai and vice president of Confindustria, had lit the comparison on the former Ilva and the need for certain rules for the industry. On the stage, among others, minister Paolo Zangrillo, Minister Andrea Abodi, Renato Brunetta, Attilio Fontana, Eugenio Giani, Pasqualino Monti and Ornella Barra.
Just energy was one of the themes that joined the two days. Marco Realfonzo, CEO and CCO of Optima Italia, recalled the need to support the solutions offered by the structural intervention market: “The integration of electricity, gas, fixed and mobile telephony can help families and businesses to contain costs, but in the face of the increase in energy prices also serve to ensure sustainable costs for operators, consumers and small and medium enterprises.”.
Two days, therefore, in which the square of Portofino has turned into a place of confrontation on the great dossiers of the country, making dialogue worlds that do not always have the opportunity to meet: Government and local administrations, large enterprises and institutions, industry and research. With the ambition, after the growth recorded by the second edition, to consolidate Portofino Talks as an annual event able to bring from Liguria a look on the transformations of Italy and Europe.
