00:00The streets of Frankfurt and Turin meet again 36 years later, and the theme of the panel
00:11hosted at the International Book Fair in Corso in Turin, titled 1988-2024 Italy-Frankfurt,
00:19roots and future, organized by Italia, guest of honor at the book fair in Frankfurt 2024,
00:26moderated by Carola Carulli, journalist of the TG2, in the blue room, a dialogue between
00:31Mauro Mazza, extraordinary commissioner of the government for the coordination of activities
00:36connected to the participation of Italy at the book fair, and Stefano Rolando, who was
00:40his counterpart in 1988, a comparison between past and future, on the trail of the roots
00:46in the future, chosen as the goal of Italian participation in Frankfurt.
00:51On October 24, after 36 years, we return as guests of honor in Frankfurt, and it's nice to imagine that we have changed a lot,
01:00but the charm that Italy exerted on Germany and on Europe on that occasion can be reiterated and renewed this year,
01:07perhaps even more enhanced, because the voices we will present are many, the exhibitions we will present are many,
01:14and our demonstrations, in addition to the Buchmesse, in addition to Frankfurt, throughout Germany, will be really exciting.
01:221988 is a very important year in the life of Europe, it is a moment in which Europe opens itself not only to the economy, but also to culture.
01:31Italy was chosen as a guest of honor at the Frankfurt book fair, the most important book fair in the world.
01:38We accept the challenge, a wonderful pavilion is being built, with 100 authors participating, 200 events throughout the city,
01:46a great success, especially of the relations between two countries that did not speak vehicular languages, German and Italian,
01:53and that had great respect for each other's cultural history.
01:57And today I wish Italy the same fortune, the same success, and the same possibility of having in Europe the respect that Italian history deserves.
02:07In addition to commemorating the return of Italian culture to Frankfurt,
02:122024 will also be remembered for the German chosen as a guest of honor language at the Turin Book Fair,
02:18to seal the bond between the two Kermesses.
