Il Governo

Undersecretary of State to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers Alfredo Mantovano spoke today at the ‘What is changing in Italy?’ conference, as part of the Rimini Meeting festival.

My best wishes to Paola Del Din on her 100th birthday.
On several occasions, I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know this extraordinary woman, a patriot who was awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valour for her bravery in the ranks of the Osoppo Brigades during the Resistance. We all send her our best wishes today and our thanks for being such a steadfast example of love of country and freedom.

It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Professor Francesco Alberoni, a pillar of sociology and communication studies.
He told of Italy’s dreams and desires, instincts and longings, revolutions and rebellions, disappointments and revivals.
His books, articles and commentaries described and accompanied anthropological changes in Italian society.

Dear Editor,
since entering office, the Government has shown that its priority is to safeguard Italians’ salaries and income. We have devoted large part of the available resources to cutting the tax wedge and strengthening households’ purchasing power. This will be the line we follow in the next Budget Law, which we are already working on. We are interested in hearing any proposal that goes in the direction of incomes and employment, of merit and fairness; we do not have ideological prejudices, we are pragmatic.
