Note: of performing Schuman\u2019s Symphony N. 9] is evocative and charged with meaning. It pays homage to the memory of the victims of that heinous act of terror and, at the same time, honours the personal and artistic memory of a composer with an exceptional musical and human sensitivity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The concert, that will be repeated on 22 and 23 February, was preceded by a debate on the Fosse Ardeatine moderated by Federico Rampini, correspondent of the newspaper La Repubblica, and introduced with greetings from Ambassador Varricchio.
