Brazilian Before the day of the Premier Renzi between solidarity, enterprise and sports. In the morning, in Salvador de Bahia, after the visit to the shrine Basilica Senhor do Bonfim, met, in the favela Massaranduba, missionaries and boys of Beija Flor project, a school of 150 children, which is one of the 130 projects handled by Agata Smeralda in the world. The Florentine Onlus has been since ’91 in programs of distance adoptions, in school projects and support to motherhood and was founded by Mauro Barsi, presents in Salvador and rewarded by Renzi, when he was mayor, with the gold florin and recently honored as knight of merit.
Then, the prime minister has moved to the educational center John Paul II of the non-profit organization AVSI and center Dom Lucas Moreira Neves, where the boys, rescued from the favelas, are on course to work: “the great joy to be here is shared – said the prime minister – by the associations who celebrate the law on the third sector, the voluntary ones and the one against food waste. There is nice and big Italy that grows with the extraordinary work of the volunteers. There is a gold medal that you volunteers and missionaries win every day. ” The morning was spent in Salvador between the memory of Don Renzo Rossi, who was committed since the 60 years in Brazil, and solidarity so that Renzi in a post on Facebook wrote: “I want to thank Italians who make international cooperation in the world: we are proud of your generosity and your professionalism. … But the real big news is the different look launched on the third sector and voluntary, they are the more money for international cooperation, the law on autism or After us, the third sector reform, and the law on food waste. ” All because solidarity, thus understood, is a political issue, not ethics.
In the afternoon, then, arriving in Rio, where Renzi, accompanied by his wife and a son, was present, with Ambassador Antonio Bernardini, lighting with the flag of the immense Christ the Redeemer, sponsored by Pirelli. Premier jokes with the bishop of Rio: “We have a long and close relationship with Italy and Pirelli, and we want to make a moment of meditation and peace in these difficult times and on the eve of the Games.” Why – I continued – “the link between Italy and Brazil is strong and is strengthened by the arrival of the blue here in Rio for the Games: the Christ illuminated with a tricolor underlines our proximity to Brazil at this time so special.” Even the CEO of Pirelli, Marco Tronchetti Provera, recalled that the commitment that has lasted three years of Pirelli, in illuminating the statue “is our way to give back to Brazil what they gave us.”
Finally, in the evening (the night in Italy) the appointment at Casa Italy, the pole sport and made in Italy. In this former club-hotel from the great beauty, the prime minister was able to see the most beautiful Italy, that of the design of food excellence, technological and artistic, Italy that can give new life to the GDP.
Today, after the flag-raising with the Italian athletes in the Village, the prime minister will fly to Sao Paulo to meet the Italian community, and tomorrow will be back to Rio for the ceremony to open the Games.
