00:00ADN Kronos Q&A. Sustainable mobility, an intermodal challenge.
00:19ROOT IN. Discovering your roots is an exciting journey, an opportunity for Italians abroad
00:26to live Italy authentically. Banini turns 10 celebrating the love for
00:32travel in the heart of Cacao. The ship of the future, in Naples the public assembly
00:38of Confitarma. Honorary degree in Pupia Vati, Rome 3 celebrates
00:43the director for his study on Dante. In San Francisco the first Innovation Zone
00:49Forum in Terna. Abortion between clandestinity and indifference presented in Rome the third
00:55report of the OPA. Among the actors that play the role of the Green Transformation,
01:02mobility has a crucial role. It has been discussed during the Sustainable Mobility Panel,
01:07an intermodal challenge, part of the ADN Kronos Convention, Green Transformation, Investments
01:13and Strategies. The meeting, which took place at the Palazzo dell'Informazione in Rome,
01:18is included in the format of the ADN Kronos Q&A agency. One of the great challenges of
01:23the Green Transformation is decarbonization.
01:26The GPL and the GNL, the liquefied gases that our association represents, have a fundamental position,
01:34because they are the cleanest fossil products available to the user and they are fossil products
01:40where investments allow us to gradually offer an increasingly decarbonized product to the consumer.
01:49This is a path that requires time, investments, regulatory support,
01:56long-term certainty for the operators. It is not done overnight, but it allows us to
02:03achieve an offer of a product that is good today and will be better tomorrow.
02:13Our product has a fundamental role in combustion, as well as a fundamental role in the circulation
02:22of light vehicles, heavy vehicles and naval traffic.
02:27For the Brennero motorway, sustainable mobility is achieved by a combination of projects.
02:33We have projects for the future, the so-called Green Corridor, investments that we have planned
02:39Green Corridor means the first in Europe to have a motorway with zero accidents and zero emissions.
02:46Zero accidents means digitalization, it means having autonomous driving.
02:51Here we have already carried out projects such as Track Platooning, so it is not a fantasy,
02:55it is a vision, it is activities that have already been carried out and that we must further implement.
03:00Zero emissions through a series of activities precisely to have a motorway
03:07where there will be no emissions.
03:10This comes through, as I said before, the railway, through hydrogen-powered electric vehicles.
03:17And here we have, as I said, already built a plant that produces green hydrogen until 2014
03:24and we will soon have eight more charging points for heavy vehicles,
03:30this is what has decided the world of mobility and production.
03:35And then we will also stimulate electric cars through ordinary batteries.
03:40Through many points we have more than 200 electric recharges,
03:44also trying to modulate the price to favor those who come on the motorway and to favor this type of vehicle.
03:50In Italy there is the largest fleet of boats in the world that must be started to the energy transition.
03:56For the proximity of ports to cities, the node is to choose what type of fuel to adopt.
04:02Synthetic fuels such as ammonia, methanol, not to mention hydrogen,
04:08it will be very difficult to be able to store them in the ports, which are the high points of the proximity lines,
04:14and therefore we see gas as a possibility, but also all biofuels, from biogas to biodiesel,
04:22which certainly have the ability to be put on board in ways that are compatible with the proximity
04:30of the benches to the city and consequently the need to harmonize these activities
04:36with the social content that surrounds our ports.
04:45Discovering one's roots and retracing the family history is an exciting and unique journey,
04:50an opportunity for Italians abroad and Italo-descendants to live Italy in an authentic and profound way.
04:55In Rome, near Palazzo Grazioli, the third edition of Roots In was presented.
05:00The event, dedicated this year to the tourism of roots and Made in Italy, took place in Matera on November 18 and 19.
05:06In the celebration year of Italian roots in the world, this initiative proposes to enhance the link
05:11between culture and Italian excellences, addressing about 80 million Italians in the world,
05:17heirs of Italian migrants between 800 and 900.
05:20Antonio Nicoletti, General Director of APT Basilicata, underlined how Roots In 2024
05:26puts Made in Italy at the center, celebrating the cultural and productive identity
05:30that Italian descendants carry with them.
05:33We have dedicated each edition to a particular theme, the first to internal areas,
05:38the second to the regeneration of the villages. This year it is dedicated to Made in Italy.
05:42One of the reasons is precisely to consider the return journey to its origins
05:48and the link that links the Italians of the world to their roots as an element
05:55that can constitute opportunities. We know that emigration is still a traumatic event today,
06:04but we consider it as an opportunity.
06:07Those who choose the journey of the roots look for experiences that go beyond traditional tourism,
06:12heading towards less frequented territories, villages and areas far from mass tourism.
06:17This traveler has a careful look at the culture of the places and is often encouraged by the desire
06:22to give back, buy and re-qualify structures and create new job opportunities,
06:27restoring value to the community.
06:29An example of success is that of Francis Forcoppo, the icon of international cinema,
06:33who decided to return to his Italian roots in the town of Bernalda, in the province of Matera,
06:38where he created a luxury resort and contributed to the visibility of the Lucanian territory.
06:42The two days in Matera will offer a unique opportunity of networking and training
06:46between Italian and international tour operators to promote the return to Italy of the descendants
06:51and strengthen tourism and entrepreneurial opportunities.
06:56A journey in the heart of cocoa began more than 75 years ago thanks to the commitment of ICAM,
07:02a chocolate manufacturing company based on the values of sustainability and quality
07:07that has always taken care of the entire cocoa line and the people who contribute to its development.
07:13For ten years, the role of protagonist along the path that goes from the heart of cocoa to the excellence of chocolate
07:19has also been transferred to Vanini, a diamond tip of ICAM,
07:23born in 2014 as a result of a strong business desire to give shape and substance
07:29to more than 75 years and three generations of experience and passion of the Agostoni-Vanini family for cocoa.
07:36The spark that originates the Vanini project comes from Peru,
07:39from which the company receives a championship of cocoa from the unique characteristics
07:43in terms of organoleptic properties and history.
07:46The food use of this special cocoa dates back to 3,000 years before Christ,
07:51a sort of first-generation cocoa plant from which all other varieties have developed.
07:57The first trip is to Peru, which means that we launch the brand in the market,
08:03which will be followed by other launches, not being able to miss our Uganda,
08:08which substantiates ICAM's commitment as far as the line is concerned,
08:13where, starting from 2010, we have realized our subsidiary, ICAM Uganda,
08:20from Ugandan cocoa that we freshly collect from growers and ferment and dry in our centers.
08:28The second step, which marked the growth of the Vanini brand and the company,
08:32takes place in Uganda, in the Bundibugio area, where ICAM discovers a high-level cocoa
08:37with an intense and rich organoleptic profile,
08:40becoming the element around which the company has created a project to develop the territory.
08:45On ICAM Uganda there is all the initiative and the energy of ICAM's thought linked to sustainability,
08:53for which many agricultural support projects are born,
08:57mainly aimed at increasing the profitability of each region,
09:03to ensure that the income of the growers rises and, as a result,
09:08a positive momentum is introduced with social and ethical reforms that are fundamental for us.
09:14Telling the journey of ICAM in the regions and in the countries,
09:18some founding pillars of the company, branch, environment and people clearly emerge.
09:23To celebrate the ten years of Vanini, a masterclass was organized,
09:27in which the fourth pillar of the company strategy, innovation, is the protagonist.
09:32The last trip takes us to the present, with the Test in Experience line,
09:37a line of products aimed at those who want to experience the different taste consistencies,
09:44the different types of chocolate.
09:46We thought it was a nice and functional thing to find the occasion of this tenth anniversary
09:54to involve Aurora Cavallo, better known as Cooker Girl,
09:59who, like us, shares the passion for beauty, taste and good.
10:04She will guide us in a masterclass that has as an object a typical and well-known international dessert,
10:10which is the Cheesecake.
10:12Precisely because the Cheesecake is one of the two new tastes that we launch this year in the markets
10:18with a strong character of innovation,
10:21because it is a table with double layers of chocolate,
10:25that is, two different layers of chocolate in a single table
10:29to represent this dessert loved by all consumers.
10:33Consolidate the international record to guarantee the competitiveness of the Italian maritime industry,
10:39bureaucratization and digitization of procedures, decarbonization as a global priority,
10:44financial support for the energy transition, modernization of ports, protection and safety of the seas
10:50are some of the strategic objectives indicated by CONFITARMA,
10:54the Italian Armed Confederation for the Protection of the Seas,
10:58are some of the strategic objectives indicated by CONFITARMA,
11:01the Italian Armed Confederation for the Protection of the Seas,
11:03to increase the contribution of shipping to the creation of value for the country.
11:07In Naples, the public assembly was the opportunity to outline the future of the sector.
11:12Italian flag, Italian enterprises in the maritime sector represent an excellence,
11:20but it represents an excellence that must be cultivated, promoted and developed with a view to the future.
11:28We ask Europe to look at the objectives with pragmatism.
11:33There is commitment, there are investments, there is a history and there is a future
11:39that the armament expresses with respect to the objectives of transition.
11:45It is necessary, however, that these objectives are approached globally.
11:50An entire day dedicated to the ship, mobile transport infrastructure,
11:54leader of an industrial world that, in addition to goods, passengers and tourism,
11:58also embraces the shipyard industry, the industry of marine extractions, the port industry,
12:02a world closely linked to the territories that always requires greater security.
12:06The port is in the city, the city is in the port, this is true for many Italian ports.
12:11Here, today, in Naples, we will talk about what is the process that we are committed to carry out
12:17precisely to support the armament.
12:19The Navy must be more and more present to allow, as I said, the use, in safety,
12:26both of the lines of communication, which are fundamental,
12:29otherwise the ships cannot reach our ports,
12:32but above all the use, in safety, of the entire maritime environment,
12:37both on the surface and under the surface.
12:40The competitiveness of shipping has been the driving force of the entire day,
12:44opened with an expo of networking and four deepening panels,
12:48and which was preceded by the Assembly, opened by a message from Premier Meloni
12:52that has renewed the common commitment to position Italy as a leader in the maritime sector,
12:57promoting economic growth in a global context in evolution.
13:01That the sea economy is at the center of the policies of this government
13:05is evident from some objective data.
13:07First of all, the establishment of a Ministry for the Sea.
13:10I add the approval of a sea plan, which has 16 directors,
13:15a public plan that can be consulted by everyone.
13:19The very recent forecast of a connection for the maritime sector
13:25and a draft law for the underwater sector.
13:28The ship of the future, we see it today, is a ship that has a track route,
13:34it is a route that we know where we want it to arrive,
13:39but to get there we need to work all together.
13:49Pupi Avati receives the Honoris Causa degree from the University of Rome III,
13:53a goal that crowns the director's long journey in the history and soul of Dante Alighieri.
13:57With a deep emotion and a pinch of nostalgia,
14:00Avati has received this recognition,
14:02tribute to his intense work of study and promotion of the figure of the great poet.
14:06The ceremony was held with the greetings of the rector Massimiliano Fiorucci
14:10and the interventions of the teachers Maurizio Fiorilla and Anna Pegoretti.
14:14Avati then presented his Lectio Magistralis,
14:17entitled Dante, exploring his fascinating relationship with the author of the Divine Comedy,
14:22the result of more than 20 years of research.
14:25Today his art is celebrated,
14:27the degree conferred to him by the Honoris Causa in Italian Studies
14:31for his film on Dante,
14:34which he investigated with particular skills,
14:38as he knows how to do,
14:40so it seemed important to us to celebrate his art
14:44and offer this contribution also to our community.
14:48Avati has challenged the limits of cinema and literature,
14:51exploring every fragment of Dante's life and thought
14:54to return it to the general public through works such as the film Dante
14:58and the novel L'Alta Fantasia,
15:00the journey of Boccaccio to the discovery of Dante,
15:02examples of his unique ability to revive the Middle Ages
15:06with historical rigor and narrative sensitivity.
15:09The book on Dante was born from what I will say to motivate this degree,
15:14that is, from my medieval interests,
15:16especially from this peasant culture
15:20that for war reasons,
15:22I was born in 1938,
15:24so we were deported as children in the countryside,
15:27so the imprinting is that of the peasant culture
15:31which is as close as possible to the Middle Ages,
15:35that is, there is less difference between the vision of the world
15:39of my aunts, of my grandmothers,
15:42of my cousins of Sasso Marconi of the 1940s
15:46than there is now.
15:48The world has changed a lot, infinitely more,
15:52especially after 1968.
15:56It was a mutation, a speeding up,
16:00a dispersion of all those who were also a classification of values,
16:05it was of the peasant culture in which I grew up
16:09and from which it is also difficult,
16:12and I don't want to give up,
16:15because they are mine now,
16:17because you can't understand my age,
16:19they are my roots.
16:45With a view to a decarbonized and digitized future,
16:49the manager of the Eterna national transmission network
16:53organized the Innovation Zone Forum in San Francisco,
16:57the first initiative of the group that brought together
17:01start-ups, players of European and American energy,
17:05and American investors for a constructive comparison
17:09on the ever-increasing challenges of the future.
17:13The forum, organized with the support of the Italian Innovation Center
17:17at Innovit, the Italian Innovation and Culture Hub,
17:21of the Consulate General of Italy in San Francisco
17:25and of the MindBridge partner,
17:27is the first international relief initiative
17:30organized by Eterna in the field of its Innovation Zone in Silicon Valley.
17:35Innovation becomes fundamental to realize
17:40the Twin Transition,
17:42an energy transition that is naturally supported
17:46by a transition, by a digital transformation.
17:50And when I talk about innovation,
17:53I mean an open innovation,
17:56I mean an innovation that allows interaction
18:00with all actors of the ecosystem.
18:03I am referring to universities, research centers,
18:08but also to other companies.
18:11And that is why we are in San Francisco
18:14to inaugurate the first Eterna Innovation Zone,
18:18a place where we intend to support start-ups,
18:24but not only by promoting them,
18:27but above all by validating their solutions,
18:31their ideas, their inventions.
18:34The first day of the Eterna Innovation Zone Forum
18:38took place on October 28 at Innovit,
18:41where five Italian start-ups presented to innovative investors
18:45of Silicon Valley their technologies for the energy sector.
18:49During the second day of work, on October 29,
18:53at MindBridge, Eterna, other European and American energy companies
18:57and some important investment funds in the field of clean tech
19:01had the opportunity to discuss the common challenges
19:05and the technological solutions needed to manage the electric grid of the future.
19:11It was presented by the Permanent Observatory on Abortion
19:14during a press conference at the Senate Nazionale,
19:17the third report on the costs of induced abortion
19:20and its effects on women's health.
19:22The appointment by the title Between Clandestinity and Indifference
19:25saw the participation of illustrious experts and professionals
19:28in the field of health and bioethics
19:30who had the opportunity to debate on the issue
19:33from a health, economic and social point of view.
19:36This year, as always, we have updated our estimates
19:39on the financial costs of Law 194,
19:42which we were the first to estimate,
19:44because before there were no such assessments.
19:46We updated them in 2022.
19:49The last year available for data was in 2022
19:53and we estimated a cost of around 60 million euros.
19:57We also estimate the estimated cost
20:00of the 44 years of updating the application of the law.
20:04The report represents a monitoring tool
20:07regarding the application of Law 194,
20:10which regulates abortion in Italy since 1978.
20:13This proposes to deepen relevant issues,
20:16answering questions about the current situation in Italy
20:19and also aims to provide statistical data
20:22on the incidence of abortions in the country.
20:24This report has shown that Law 194,
20:30in the last 44 years,
20:32the latest data available in 2022,
20:35has had a significant cost in economic terms,
20:39it has had a significant cost in terms of complications
20:42with respect to women's health,
20:45it has not eliminated the plague of clandestine abortions,
20:50it has not improved maternal mortality.
20:55In addition, it has caused the end of the lives
21:00of millions of children.
21:03So, human costs, economic costs, social costs,
21:07what are the benefits?
21:09The conference in the Senate therefore marked a crucial stage
21:12in the dialogue regarding abortion and its implications,
21:15a topic that arouses a political debate in Italy
21:18and highlights not only the economic costs of abortion,
21:21but also the long-term effects
21:23on women's health and well-being.
21:25Now, everyone can understand, even those who are not doctors,
21:28that if abortion in an adult woman,
21:31after 30 years, 34 years,
21:33is only 12-14%, the spontaneous one,
21:36how is it possible that in an age range
21:39where the pathologies and problems
21:41that lead to abortion at 14-19 years
21:44are not there,
21:45what are those pathologies that can justify
21:48such a high prevalence?
21:50The explanation is simple,
21:52it is an abortion you do yourself,
21:54the other aspect, on the other hand,
21:56concerns the eugenic abortion,
21:58which in the last 30 years has gone from 0.5% to 6.5%,
22:02increasing 12 times.
22:04Why is this?
22:05What is the response of the relationship?
22:07So, all this world of ignorance,
22:10or in any case of lies,
22:13with numbers, with evidence,
22:15because the ancients used to say
22:17contra factum, non valet argumentum.
