Guido Carli’s lesson according to Mario Draghi
Who was there and what was said at the “Il mondo nuovo” event organized by the Carli Foundation
Alcide De Gasperi who takes, with a little natural embarrassment, the first check for 50 million dollars from the US Secretary of State, gives it to our ambassador, who naturally puts it back in his wallet, and the sentence of Guido Carli , in the USA on that significant Italian trip: “We are ambassadors of poor Italy”.
It is the image that Gianni Letta, through this anecdote, gives of Italy towards post-war reconstruction, “Italy in a world divided between capitalism and communism, freedom and dictatorship”.
A country already represented abroad by the figure of Carli, "central" even before his trajectory as a great Italian, from Bretton Woods to the Maastricht Treaty ".
From the spirit of cohesion of that dramatic restart, "up to sitting at the table of the G7", to the same spirit of cohesion needed now, says Letta, invoked by the Head of State, Sergio Mattarella, to leave today for "the new world", after the pandemic.
It is that "Pact for Italy / Restart", centered on "above all environment and health", illustrated by Romana Liuzzo, Carli's nephew and president of the homonymous Foundation (of which Letta is honorary president) signed with "the best of 'Italian entrepreneurship and ingenuity ”.
It is a document of contribution to the government of Mario Draghi, in support of the NRP.
In the Sala Sinopoli of the Auditorium Parco della Musica (yesterday afternoon), in addition to the institutional authorities, the ministers Roberto Cingolani, Renato Brunetta, Mara Carfagna, Maria Stella Gelmimi, parliamentarians, there are precisely the most significant expressions of Italian "creativity", as well as the stylists Lavinia Biagiotti, Nicoletta Spagnoli, Raffaella Curiel. Exponents of the electronics, information technology, energy, communication, sports and banking sectors.
Gianni Letta intervenes after the Minister of Ecological Transition Cingolani, following him, in a debate coordinated by Nicola Porro, significant exponents of Italy called to the restart such as Giovanni Malagò, president of Coni, and Urbano Cairo, president of RCS.
All this takes place under "the blessing of Pope Francis", whose significant greeting at the conference of the Carli Foundation is read by President Liuzzo.
Prime Minister Mario Draghi himself opens his video greeting , with the memory of the former governor of the Bank of Italy, former Treasury minister, senator and many other prestigious positions, "from Bretton Woods to the signing of the Maastricht Treaty ".
For Draghi, Carli is still today a "point of reference for those who work in institutions", "with his Europeanism, with his warning for orderly planning", now necessary "for the historic occasion of the PNRR, in which we must plan and collaborate all together, from institutions to local authorities ".
An invitation from Draghi “to the ethical commandment of optimism that is not ambition, as the economic indicators already demonstrate”, underlines Romana Liuzzo, Carli's nephew, custodian with the Foundation, together with Letta honorary president, of the memory of the great Italian.
