Present at the event were Ambassador Francesco Di Nitto, the Rector of the Catholic University, Franco Anelli, and the Director of the Office for Space and Aerospace Policies at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Elena Grifoni Winters.
At the event, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation was awarded a recognition conferred to the enterprises and institutions which supported the International Program and Master in Cultural Diplomacy, now at its fifth edition. The event, at which the students of the Master’s course received their diplomas, was attended by the Principal Director for Integrated Promotion and Innovation, Minister Cecilia Piccioni and the Principal Director for the Promotion of the Italian Culture and Language, Minister Alessandro De Pedys.
