Federico Pedini Amati (Secretary of State for Tourism): “The event presented today will be organized under the very high patronage of the Captains Regent, we are honored to host the presentation. When we talk about peace we must all feel involved and I think it is crucial that this event receives maximum participation. Montegiardino, which despite being our smallest castle welcomes many Ukrainian women and children, was also chosen by the Secretariat of State for Tourism for an international project of the United Nations World Organization, nice to see revived by this event! Heartfelt thanks to all those who have worked to organize an event of this magnitude ”. Andrea Silvagni (San Marino for Peace): “My job brought me into contact with Ukrainian families who were welcomed in San Marino and as soon as I met and their children I met these girls I could have done for them. I tried to work to involve friends, artists, photographers, San Marino associations and institutions in an event that has the double value of raising awareness on the theme of peace and at the same time raising funds for those families. It will be a moment of reflection but also of fun, what we hope is that the greatest message can really start from the smallest castle in San Marino “.
