Giorgio Marrapodi
Ambassador of Italy to Türkiye

I think this is very interesting because it focuses on a very important sector for the economy, for the culture and this is something very important for both Italy and Turkiye. We should know who we are and we know it through our history, our culture, and our roots. Italy and Turkiye are two countries that I think are very similar and we both have our roots in the Mediterranean which is the cradle of civilization in my view. So I think this initiative is very important and could be pivotal for growing in a sustainable way.
