Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am pleased to write a thought to accompany you this Easter, a passage (from its etymology) this year painful and distressing but also full of new possibilities.
The background of my experience as I write to you is full of the things I have heard from colleagues at the Institute in our online meetings, from students who have never stopped meeting and studying in the virtual classes we have created for them, from colleagues working in health care, from you, dear foreign colleagues, from children.
I’m proud to be Italian, never like in this moment.
Not only images of hospitals and numbers of infected people in our media, but also the rainbow of children who tell us that “everything will be fine” and “together we will make it”.
