Tomorrow, the mayor of Udine Alberto Felice De Toni will participate in an important meeting at the Cittadella della Pace in Rondine, in the province of Arezzo, to discuss peace and brotherhood. De Toni will be supported by councilors Andrea Zini and Gea Arcella and by the councilor delegated for international relations Alessandro Colautti. Franco Vaccari, founder of Rondine, the famous center committed to promoting peace at an international level, will welcome them.
This meeting was born from the appeal launched by Rondine a few days before the Italian national team’s match in Udine, with the aim of promoting sport as a vehicle for peace and dialogue. “I am proud of the results we have obtained,” declared De Toni, “from a logic of ideological contrasts, also exploited politically, we have managed to shift the focus, creating an opportunity for dynamism also for the institutions. We balanced divergent proposals by acting as bearers of a message of dialogue.”
Many responded to Rondine’s appeal, including the Minister of Sport Andrea Abodi, the Football Federation and other important institutional and religious positions in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Italy. The meeting will see prominent participants such as Monsignor Riccardo Lamba, Archbishop of Udine; Beniamino Quintieri, president of the Institute for Sports Credit; and Roberto Pinton, rector of the University of Udine. The economic and trade union world will also be represented, alongside religious figures from the Jewish, Islamic and Christian communities, all united by the desire to promote a message of peace and cohesion.
The meeting in Rondine will be divided into an institutional session followed by a closed-door working table, in which institutional representatives, bodies involved and some international students will take part. This moment of discussion aims to identify concrete actions and involve the new generations in building a future of peace and solidarity.
