In the Conference Room of the Jonico UNIBA Department the event entitled “The legacy of Aldo Moro’s foreign policy in the perspective of the Manifesto for a theology from the Mediterranean”
TARANTO – The seminar will be held on Thursday 9 May, the date of the 46th anniversary of the death of Aldo Moro: “The legacy of Aldo Moro’s foreign policy in the perspective of the Manifesto for a theology from the Mediterranean”. The event will take place from 9 am to 12 pm in the Conference Room (former church) of the Jonico UNIBA Department, in Via Duomo 259, in Taranto.
The seminar is organized by the Ionic Department in legal and economic systems of the Mediterranean, society, environment, cultures, the Brindisi-Taranto Chamber of Commerce and the G.Lazzati Culture Centre, with the involvement of local Morotei places: Liceo Archita and Convento di San Pasquale .
Starting from the recent Manifesto for a theology from the Mediterranean, an event of great geopolitical significance and involving commitment to the interdisciplinary revival of knowledge and knowledge, is to pose the challenge, as Pope Francis himself outlines it, for a new vision of the world, for a new community of destiny and for a new path, path of history, towards peace.
It is a conscious immersion in the wounds and anxieties of a place, the Mediterranean, our sea, so that the shipwreck of men and civilizations is immediately transformed into a generative practice of possible new brotherhood. Talking about the Mediterranean, especially in the tension and perspective of the Marseille Manifesto (September 2023), is also meeting testimonies, charisms, prophecies of men and commitments that are perhaps too forgotten. The Mediterranean as the new Lake Tiberias was not just the dream and utopia of Giorgio La Pira. Returning to the Mediterranean also means clearing customs for a political figure still unknown to common opinion such as that of Aldo Moro.
Understanding its political vision, between moral tension and realism, and through it the complexity of international politics, and also feeling the urgency and accompaniment is transforming the Mediterranean from a tomb into the womb of planetary humanism. Intertwining the plot of the Manifesto with Aldo Moro’s attempted geopolitical reconstruction will be not only two experts, but above all two committed protagonists: Antonio Bergamo, well-known researcher of Mediterranean thought and active signatory of the Manifesto itself, as well as Gilberto Bonalumi, who has always been involved in politics active foreign government collaborator of Moro, Prime Minister (1963 -1968; 1974 -1976) and Foreign Minister (1969 – 1972; 1973 -1974).
A start-up seminar for further, open insights and outcomes such as a planned international conference already scheduled for next September in the continuity of the scientific commitment of the Jonico Department itself today represented by professors, Ivan Ingravallo, Pamela Martino, Paolo Stefanì and Stefano Vinci and which the G.Lazzati culture center puts back on the agenda after the publication of the catalog of the exhibition Taranto città a me dear – organized in 2016 on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Aldo Moro – published by the Committee which was set up for the occasion by collecting the participation of numerous institutions.
A great cultural challenge, of new generation that the Manifesto launches from the Mediterranean and which also arouses active citizenship in Taranto by recovering commitments from the past for an unprecedented but not without root future.
