The mayor of the Calabrian village, Sen. Ernesto Magorno, expressed the his enthusiasm: “Being here is already a great victory for us. I thank the INPS President, Pasquale Tridico, for having made this wonderful location available to us and I cannot but thank, once again, Senator Liliana Segre, honorary citizen of Diamante, who has decided to accept our proposal to be Honorary President of the Committee in support of the candidacy. The bond with the Jewish community is very strong, thanks to the cedar, an extraordinary vehicle of union between peoples ”. “15% of our GDP is interested in culture – said the president of INPS Pasquale Tridico -. The sector during the pandemic received direct support from INPS. I have an unforgivable partisanship for which I apologize: I am Calabrian and I have been to Diamante many times, a beautiful city. As a Calabrian I am proud that Diamante is a candidate for the Italian capital of culture “. The event was also attended by the former rector of the La Sapienza University of Rome and president of the committee for the candidacy of Diamante, Eugenio Gaudio: “The cedar is the testimony of the culture of hospitality in Diamante, the feast of the huts of religion Jewish that testified to the exit of slavery. On the coast of Calabria there was a great coexistence between various religions. It is an important project for the enhancement of multiculturalism. Diamante’s murals are an example of unparalleled widespread culture. The mayor with this candidacy wanted to start a flywheel that in any case will be a harbinger of improvement. Legality is essential. The project was built in a skilful and articulated way. It is a deeply rooted and motivated candidacy “. Also representing the institutions was Riccardo Nencini, president of the cultural heritage commission of the Senate: “In any case it will end up, it will be a victory for Diamante. In Italy in all regions there are extraordinary competitors. It is an excellent opportunity for the Calabria Region to play all on the same side of the pitch ”.
