The national festival of civil economy returns to Florence from 25 to 27 September in the Salone dei Cinquecento in Palazzo Vecchio, an event that aims to make sustainable development models in Italy concrete and connected.
The second edition opens in the presence of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.
On 27 September, the closing day, the presence of the President of the Council of Ministers Giuseppe Conte, already a guest last year of the event, was announced.
Other guests expected include the President of the European Parliament David Sassoli.
'People, places, communities'.
The economy that re-generates', the title of the 2020 edition of the Festival, born from an idea of Federcasse that promotes it together with Confcooperative, organized and designed with Next (New economy for all) and Sec (School of civil economy ) and with the contribution of Fondosviluppo, Assimoco, the Tuscan Federation of the Bcc, Coopersystem and Assicooper.
Regain trust, reaffirm the value of relationships between people, make the goods that contribute to individual and collective growth available to all.
In other words, "re-generate" the economy and, with it, society weakened by the most serious emergency that the country (and the whole world) have had to face since the end of the Second World War: these, in a nutshell, the objectives of the event.
Among the planned interventions there are also those of the ministers for Equal Opportunities and the Elena Bonetti family and of the Environment Sergio Costa.
The president of the International Economic Association, Kaushik Basu, the director of the Revenue Agency Ernesto Maria Ruffini, the president of Istat Giancarlo Blangiardo and the president of SlowFood Carlo Petrini are still announced.
