On 17 June Palazzo Borromeo hosted the launch event of the volume “Quam Pulchri – Settanta saggi per i settant’anni del Cardinale Matteo Zuppi” (“Quam Pulchri – Seventy Essays for the Seventieth Birthday of Cardinal Matteo Zuppi”).
The event, organised in collaboration with the Foundation for Religious Studies, was opened by remarks by Ambassador Francesco Di Nitto, followed by speeches from Matteo Maria Zuppi, President of the Italian Bishops’ Conference; the Minister of Defence, Guido Crosetto; the President of the ‘Futuri Probabili’ Association, Luciano Violante; the Rector of “La Sapienza” University of Rome, Antonella Polimeni, and the President of the Foundation for Religious Studies, Alessandro Pajno.
The event was moderated by Professor Alberto Melloni, Secretary of the Foundation for Religious Studies (FSCIRE), who, together with Nicla Buonasorte, edited the volume presented on this occasion.
Building on Cardinal Zuppi’s courageous commitment to peace – highlighted in the essays collected in the volume edited by Melloni and Buonasorte – the event at Palazzo Borromeo shed light on the challenges facing Government leaders, the academic community, the Church and citizens.
