Italy has 129 embassies in the world, many of which represent our country in geographically distant, little-known contexts. Avamposti, the new podcast series produced in collaboration with the AGI news agency, has selected some of them to describe their different facets and also analyse them in the light of their relations with the Italian culture. Thanks to the contribution of the diplomatic network and the voices of Italians who have had the opportunity to thoroughly examine their customs and traditions for professional or personal reasons, the profiles of these places will become clearer and more understandable. A journey around the world in 6 stages leading to 6 different destinations. From geopolitics to history, through entrepreneurship and cuisine: the many faces of these countries are observed through the eyes of our Italian nationals who have first-hand experience with them.
Today’s destination is Singapore: the multi-ethnic heart of South-East Asia, which is standing out on the international scene for its dynamism, forward-looking outlook and high quality of life. Discover the present and the past of this cosmopolitan commercial hub through the eyes of the Italian community.
Speakers: Mario Andrea Vattani (Ambassador of Italy in Singapore); Cecilia Laschi (National University of Singapore); Francesco Mancini (Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy); Smeralda Mazzei (Gianni & Origoni law firm); Beppe De Vito (restaurateur); Sergio Di Pasquale (Interpol); Gionata Bosco (President of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore).
