With almost 800.000 -the number of visitors from abroad is always greater – the meeting spaces have been literally saturated from many that had the possibility to meet international personalities and protagonists of Italian life, to visit exhibitions and to attend to the programmed shows.
The almost 300 speakers that have intervened during the week have contributed to the realization of a new knowledge of reality and in some moments they have communicated the fundamental meaning of things. Starting from Fr. Julian Carron: in a Meeting that has focused on knowledge it would be difficult to find a better witness than Saint Paul to document the truth of the title chosen. On the other side, Carmine Di Martino has shown the importance of the topic inside the journey of the modernity.
Furthermore, masters of institutions, of the Italian government and of the opposition have accepted to compare about real topics of the life of a people, from education to work, from economy to justice. That has been the case of Renato Schifani, Mario Draghi, Giulio Tremonti, Angelino Alfano, Maurizio Sacconi, Claudio Scajola, Mara Carfagna, Mariastella Gelmini, Roberto Calderoli, Luca Zaia, Pierluigi Bersani and Enrico Letta. At the same time intervened managers from business and financial world as Corrado Passera, James Murdoch, Fabio Conti and Raffaele Bonanni.
The President of Lombardy Region Mr. Roberto Formigoni and the Municipal Councillor in charge of transport Mr. Raffaele Cattaneo have visited also our stand.
The 30th Meeting has opened with an exceptional international event, favored by the minister Frattini: the encounter with four leaders of four African Countries, that have discussed about peace and development. Also the human and politic testimony of Tony Blair has been absolutely unexpected.
For this reason, the title of the 2010 Meeting, that will take place in Rimini next Summer, will inspire EMMEDUE®: “That nature wich pushes us to desire great things is the heart”.
