This year Giffoni has chosen to give a common line to institutional meetings. The main question that changes, according to the responsibilities of the public representatives who will take part in the various meetings, is “Tell me what happens…”.

The invitation was accepted at the moment by SERGIO COSTA, Minister of the Environment and the Protection of the Territory and the Sea, GAETANO MANFREDI, Minister of University and Research, PAOLA PISANO, Minister for Technological Innovation and Digitization, LUIGI DI MAIO , Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and LUCIA AZZOLINA, Minister of Education.
