Aldo Moro was secretary of the DC; five times Prime Minister; but with the heart of a university professor and friend of young people. 46 years after May 9, 1978, the day the body of the sixty-one-year-old Moro was found in the trunk of the red Renault 4 parked in Via Michelangelo Caetani in Rome, Polity Design, Scuola di Classe Dirigente focuses on Moro’s students and the Moro professor, during the public debate promoted on Thursday 9 May in the Library of the Seminary of Caserta (Piazza Duomo, Caserta) from 5.30 pm.
Moro and those years will be told by Lucio Brunelli, student of the Christian Democrat statesman, journalist, former Vatican reporter for TG2 and director of TV2000 and Radio InBlu; and Angelo Picariello, journalist for Avvenire, parliamentarian and expert on the Years of Lead, with a view to reconciling the country between the victims of terrorism and the Red Brigades. Also at the table were Luigi Ferraiuolo, director of Polity Design, and Gianmarco Carozza, of the School’s Board of Directors (also made up of Sergio Carozza, Valentina D’Andria, Monica Ippolito, Stefania Lanni, Gianni Maggio, Don Gianmichele Marotta and Biagio Narciso) .
The city’s greetings will be brought by the councilor for culture Enzo Battarra, the presidents of the Rotary Club Caserta Reggia, Daniela Castallo; and of the Lions Club Caserta Villa Reale new century Francesco Cirino; and Michele De Simone, of the Buone Notizie Award, which Brunelli won in 2015.
“Aldo Moro is one of the most important political figures in the history of republican Italy. He is central to the Christian Democracy and leads the modernization of the country by closely confronting the PCI and often influencing it from afar – explains Ferraiuolo – His figure as a Catholic intellectual first and then as a politician make him fundamental in the drafting of the Camaldoli Code, in the Constituent Assembly and in the government of the country”.
The objective of the meeting is to investigate in particular his relationship with young people and his relationship as a professor, who are little or not known at all. Two first-year Polity students will read some passages from Moro’s memorable speeches and letters: Gaia Bonafiglia and Vincenzo Sermiento. “In 1978 Giorgio Bocca spoke of the Catholic-communist roots of terrorism, placing the blame on the “two Churches”, as he called them – the Catholic one and the communist one -, which by educating in maximalism would have created the premises for the armed struggle – add Ferraiuolo and Carozza di Polity – We also want to talk about the complexity of those years, which saw the birth of Catholic associations and movements and subversive organizations in parallel, to dispel erroneous analyses.”
