There is the praise of creativity and diversity in the words of Riccardo Nencini, president of the Public Education and Culture Commission of the Senate, today guest of #Giffoni50Plus. Outside his institutional aplomb, Nencini meets the young people of Giffoni IMPACT! with great emotional participation. The invitation is to never lose the autonomy of thought, to cultivate doubt, to mix with those who express a diversity: "The representation of the enemy - he said - has always coincided with what is different. However, there is no possibility of creating a civilisation if there is no synergy and if we do not mix. Imagine how boring it would be to live mixing with those who always think like you. It would be a very boring world. Compartmentalisation never works. What does work, however, is the multifaceted experience. It is gained through study, through the ability to mix with those who do not think like you. If you hide in the crowd, your characteristics will never emerge. In the crowd you lose the capacity for independent thought. It is better to be politically incorrect than to lose the autonomy of your own thought".
The passage on Italy as a country of beauty, art and cultural heritage was extensive. The speech is embellished with quotes from the Renaissance. He also appealed to the ability of individuals. "In this sense too- Nencini concluded- Giffoni is a model. Something unimaginable has been done here. Thanks to a person who had the will to commit himself, to put his ideas into this project".
