(Adnkronos) - "L’idea di questo progetto è quella di portare una piazza d’Italia, che rappresenti le grandi eccellenze italiane, dalla cultura all’arte, dall’enogastronomia alla tecnologia all’industria al design in un’altra nazione. Arriva Vespucci, arriva un ambasciatore dell’italianità, di tutto ciò che è l’Italia e, oltre alla nave, a terra, chiunque viglia può trovare rappresentato un pezzo del nostro paese con le eccellenze in un’atmosfera che ricorda le città italiane, la piazza, il campanile: un luogo di aggregazione che rende l’Italia unica anche dal punto di vista umano”. Così il ministro della Difesa Guido Crosetto, intervenendo a Los Angeles alla cerimonia inaugurale della tappa americana del tour mondiale di Nave Amerigo Vespucci, storico veliero e nave scuola della Marina Militare Italiana già ambasciatore del Made in Italy nel mondo e del Villaggio Italia, l’Esposizione Mondiale Itinerante pluriennale delle eccellenze italiane che per altre sette tappe affiancherà il tour del Vespucci.

00:00The idea of this project is to bring a piece of Italy, a square of Italy, which represents
00:10the great Italian excellences, from culture to art, from gastronomy to technology to industry
00:17to design, to another nation.
00:20So Vespucci arrives, an ambassador of Italianity arrives, an ambassador of everything that is
00:26Italy, and in addition to the ship, on the ground, anyone can find a piece of our country
00:34with the greatest things, the greatest excellences, in an atmosphere that recalls those of the
00:39great Italian cities, the square, the bell tower, the place of aggregation that makes
00:44Italy unique also from a human point of view, from the point of view of the relationship
00:47between people.
00:48So the attempt to bring the heart of Italy, a piece of the heart of Italy, to another
00:54nation, and where, here, in this place, in Los Angeles, as in most of the United States,
01:03he finds another piece of Italy to welcome him, which is in the heart of many Italians
01:07who have been here for generations, perhaps, but who are always linked to our land, one
01:12to awaken their pride and their closeness to Italy, as well as that of the other Americans.
01:17It will continue after Los Angeles, but this is the prototype, it was the first big attempt
01:22that we made, with a success that you just have to look around and you get it very well.
