A "contract, a new social contract extended not to single parts,

but to Creation as a whole"

is what

Brunello Cucinelli asks in a letter addressed to the "wise men of humanity".

Defined as "women and men pro-tempore guardians who govern the destinies of the world".


    and they let the breath of the sky pass, which returns to blue. "" Women and men who with humanity and wisdom have the responsibility for the destinies of creation, you know that in difficult days and passages that last for no longer a short time, something , like a painful fate, has now become our usual travel companion "writes Cucinelli opening the letter signed" Brunello "." For two years - he continues - a virus has been around the world which, like a malignant Proteus, has a thousand lives and new forms, and like the waves of a dark sea now withdraws in a low tide, now it rises silently, meter by meter, stealing, together with the ever renewed hope, often also our life.

You know that last year it sometimes seemed to us that we left behind this reality that we were trying to ignore,

we pretended to neglect, but that so to speak entered every speech, pervaded the mind in the evening moment of sleep, became the intrusive guest of our mind in every single moment of the day, denied us the usual happiness of living together with the family and to conduct work and the joy of being in harmony with nature.

The landscapes that caressed my soul, along the beautiful childhood spent in the fields, together and within Creation, embraced by Mother Earth, those enchanted landscapes seem so far away today!

Nature renews itself and renews itself strengthens itself, and so for us, the rite is the very foundation of the story, a story of beauty.

How many nights, as a boy, I went to the window, and the moon, as if there waiting for me, shone fresh and bright,

and I dreamed of what was in the sky and beyond the horizon.

Heaven has a great responsibility, and in the meantime we await old age, in order to recall our own memories to our grandchildren, not as boring senile sentences, but as useful memories of a youth where our person and nature were so close as to seem like a only thing "." Today the sleep of reason - writes Cucinelli - has awakened an ancient demon, and it is war, which Tolstoy, in its greatness, considered an 'event contrary to reason and human nature'.

This ugly soul of the world peeks out again with all the material and spiritual desolation that is congenital to it, and for this reason the burden we carry on her shoulders becomes even more heavy.

But St. Augustine prayed: 'O God, thank you for sending me pain as a teacher'.

The pains make us stronger, they bring us back to essential values, they unite us more.

This Creation, whose silent universal language we perceive, still tells us that life is all before us, for an infinite time.

We know, as human creatures, that even the poorest of people is always such, and bears the name of sister and brother who live together helping each other, and then all together, as in an immense universal embrace;

she is along this road that will lead to peace.

We expect the answers to come from your wisdom so that all of this becomes relevant for the whole of humanity ".
