Mattarella, “the Italian language is proposed, abroad, the quality of the Country” – Corriere della Sera

FLORENCE – the Italian language is a carrier is very important for the overseas promotion of the Country system. And the president of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, in his speech that concludes the two days he the States-general of the Italian language in the Palazzo Vecchio, reiterates and reinforces the concept that it is also a strategy. “We must not forget – says Mattarella, in the Salone dei Cinquecento – the fact that to speak of Italy are important areas such as art, music, design, fashion, cinema, sports, industry, and the kitchen”, and therefore also the language, if promoted, taught (it is the fourth most studied language in the world ndr) can be a medium important to tell the stories of Italy”.

Why promote our language is “an idea, far away from the defensive identity”, but a means to offer to other cultures, the result of the experience gathered in the course of the story, because “the Italian speaks of humanism,” said Mattarella. And it is a false problem to think that Italian is the language of the past and the English that of modernity. Mattarella, Florence plays a dual role. Not only the head of State, but also of the academic of the Bran, thanks for the on the activities of the defence of our language.

“to present the quality Italia is also propose – humanism that derives from our culture, way of life, of work,” explains the president Mattarella –. Value the past is already known can not run out in the perceptions of nostalgia, it touches us in the task of redesign constantly the image and the cultural offer of our Country”. Mattarella also speaks of the attraction that our culture has and must have in the world with the arrival of young people proud to study in Italy, and therefore “every sector of our Country is called to be a source of inspiration and coming closer to the Italian culture and can not be missed in this direction, initiatives aimed at the attraction of talent in Italy, together with those directed to the return of the Italian talents that have seen grow abroad, their skills.”

“The industries of our Country have focused on internationalization have brought and continue to bring a fundamental contribution to the cause of our culture and our language continues Mattarella – expressing that civilization and that humanism of the work that is so much a part of our baggage”. Therefore, for the head of State, serves a strengthening of the tv channels in Italian language abroad and content for the Internet network, such as the portal of the Italian language in the world presented in the “two days” in florence. With the objective of extending the large “audience of admirers of Italian culture”, partly as a result of the initiative of the Register established by the Ministry of foreign Affairs.

Concepts made by the deputy minister for Foreign Affairs, Mario Giro, who announces an enhancement, thanks also to the financing of 50 million of the government, of the 83 centers of Italian culture in the world, and a campaign for exit from the stereotype of the Italian language is weak. Then announces, for the next year in Florence, italy, an initiative dedicated to the Italian language and to the kitchen. “One of the great must of our culture,” explains the Tour – that should be even more enhanced and above all, put on the network”. And then announces: “we will also suggest a university of Italian cuisine on an international basis”.
