MILAN (ITALPRESS) – The event organized by AmCham Italy in collaboration with the US Consulate General in Milan, dedicated to the upcoming American presidential elections. The largest democracy in the West is going to the vote and the Italian American business community will follow step by step the electoral operations that will lead to the choice of the new President of the United States of America.
AmCham Italy – affiliated to the US Chamber of Commerce in Washington DC, the US Confindustria, of which over three million companies are members – has been developing and promoting economic and cultural relations between the United States of America and Italy for 109 years, promoting and protecting the interests of its Associates in the context of business activities between the two countries.
The evening, organized thanks also to the support of Citi, Deloitte, HPE, InRete and Covenant Partners, will see personalities from the world of politics, economics and finance engaged in a series of discussions, moderated by the journalist from the Sole 24 Ore Cheo Condina, on relations between Italy and the United States, on the possible electoral outcome and its consequences.
“Voting is the highest exercise of democratic power – declared the President of AmCham Italy Stefano Lucchini – in which citizens are called upon to choose who to entrust the leadership of a country to. A ritual that has characterized the United States of America since its origins, raising the interest of Alexis de Tocqueville and of those who, at the time of the birth of this nation, lived in a Europe largely governed by absolute powers without a Constitution . More than two centuries later, today this exercise of democracy is capable of determining the balance of the world. And following it, as AmchAm Italy proposes with Election Night, is not only a moment of analysis and reflection, but also of joyful participation in a celebration of democracy in which we firmly believe and which deserves to be celebrated”.
“We are proud to host an event of such great importance to delve deeper into the context of the next American elections – declared the Managing Director of AmCham Italy Simone Crolla -, elections which will have a significant impact not only on the United States, but also on the economic and global policies. AmCham Italy, which has always been committed to promoting transatlantic dialogue and collaboration, believes it is essential to offer a space for reflection to explore the implications of this crucial moment and discuss future prospects with our partners, associated companies and institutional representatives. I thank the speakers for their precious contribution and the sponsors who made the organization of such a special evening possible.”
“Democracy is the beating heart of our being Americans, and no event is as emblematic of our democratic tradition as the presidential election,” said Consul General Douglass Benning.
“The US Consulate General in Milan is proud to partner with AmCham Italy in celebrating an important evening for the United States together with some of our closest friends in business, government, media and academia. This event also represents an opportunity to highlight the deep ties that unite our countries and reiterate that, regardless of the outcome, Italy and the United States will continue to be trusted partners and friends,” he added.
