Sangioliano: “The circulation of ideas has no walls”
“I am happy to be here because at the moment my institutional role is combined with the passion of an avid reader, of someone who has been traveling around the world of books for more than 40 years,” said the Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangioliano. In his speech at the opening of the Turin Book Fair. “President La Russa is also an avid reader, we have consulted many times about mutual readings. The value of the circulation of ideas has no barriers, and the presence of a second position of the state here indicates interest in the world of culture and the world of books and for the centrality that the book fair has gained in recent years by working hard on the scene international”.
“This is the city of Piero Gobetti, the extraordinary intellectual with whom I relate personally because I studied that period – said Sangioliano – in the house of Gobetti, when he was about to die from fetching medicines? Minister confirmed.
“I also want to mention a personal experience in these days. With La Russa we will open the exhibition in the Uffizi at the forefront of the twentieth century, I realized that the Ordine Nuovo, the journal of Gramsci and Togliatti, was missing and demanded that a space be given to that journal also which was central to the discussion. And I say a study, Study. I am convinced of the universal value of books and reading, and I ask young people to do three things: visit museums, listen to a good concert, and read many books.. Reading is spiritual food.”
“I also want to mention from the book fair all those Ukrainian intellectuals who suffer from cowardly aggression. Georgia Meloni immediately lined up Italy to defend the values of freedom and civil rights. I want to mention the value of the book and the freedom that was born by chance. It must find sediment, its nourishment. Book My dear Lagioia, it is the instrument in which freedom can be consolidated. Thank you for the work you have done, and then we will meet to think of other projects.”
