Tuesday, October 3 – Ferruccio De Bortoli participated in Molte Fedi 2017, the conference series organized by ACLI and supported by Fondazione Pesenti, with a talk titled ““La Sfida del Presente. Ponti non Muri” (The Challenge of the Present: Bridges, Not Walls) ” together with Giovanni Nicolini at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, in Città Alta, Bergamo.
Walls that divide. Fears and insecurities that block progress. Attitudes of closure are increasing, fueling the return of nationalism and populism. Our complex society faces a great challenge today: the daily struggle against the return of barbarism and the weakening of shared, meaningful principles.
Don Giovanni Nicolini is the parish priest of Dozza, a neighborhood on the outskirts of Bologna. In the 1970s, he gathered a group of young people around him, founding the community of the Families of the Visitation, linked to the Piccola Famiglia dell’Annunziata, founded by Don Giuseppe Dossetti. He is the Spiritual Assistant of the national ACLI.
Ferruccio de Bortoli, has had a forty-year career in Italian journalism with the country’s leading newspapers, where he served as editor for many years: twice director of Corriere della Sera and also director of Il Sole 24 Ore. He has led journalism with clarity and calmness, contributing to debates on the main issues affecting Italy and the world.
