(Adnkronos) - “L'arte, la poesia e questo tipo di iniziative rappresentano qualcosa di veramente importante dal punto di vista di temi come l'inclusività, l'accettazione. Parlare di queste cose in un momento storico, sociale e culturale come questo è fondamentale.” Ha detto Giovanni Tarquini, presidente del Centro Culturale Laurentum in occasione della cerimonia di consegna dei riconoscimenti della XXXVIII Edizione del Premio Laurentum presso la Sala della Regina della Camera dei Deputati a Palazzo Montecitorio.

00:00What do you think is the key to the success of this project?
00:04Love for culture, for poetry, for art.
00:07The conviction that art, poetry and this type of initiative
00:14can represent something really important from the point of view of themes such as inclusiveness, acceptance.
00:20Talking about these things in a moment like this, historical, social, cultural,
00:26we believe it is fundamental.
00:28So for us it is a commitment of volunteering, but in which we believe a lot.
00:32It's been about 40 years, 38 editions of the award,
00:35but the cultural center is in the Roman territory since 1982, so from before.
00:41We perceive a strong need for this type of initiative.
00:46And another thing I have to tell you is a commitment that takes time away from us,
00:53our daily commitments, our work, our family,
00:55but the will to go on is so strong in us that I think we will have more new editions.
01:01And the effort we make every year is that, if we manage to raise the bar and identify topics,
01:08today you will see that there are central themes that will be brought to the attention
01:13of this splendid group of friends who follow us every year, which we think is fundamental.
