“The soul of the Laurentum is the love for culture, poetry and art”

The president of the Laurentum Cultural Center, on the occasion of the award ceremony for the XXXVIII Edition of the Laurentum Prize, delivered yesterday in the Queen’s Hall of the Chamber of Deputies.

“Art, poetry and this type of initiative represent something truly important with respect to themes such as inclusiveness and acceptance. Talking about these things in a historical, social and cultural moment like this is fundamental. For us it is a voluntary commitment, but in which we believe very much. There have been 38 editions of the award, but the cultural center has been in the Roman territory since 1982. We perceive a strong need for this type of initiative. It is a commitment that takes up time, but it is so the will is strong in us to move forward that I think we will have other new editions and the effort we make every year is to raise the bar and identify topics”. Thus Giovanni Tarquini, president of the Laurentum Cultural Center, on the occasion of the award ceremony for the XXXVIII Edition of the Laurentum Prize, delivered yesterday in the Sala della Regina of the Chamber of Deputies.
