Vatican City, 14 September 2015 (VIS) –
From 23 to 27 September the Italian city of Assisi will be the seat
of the “Courtyard of Francis”, a place of encounter and dialogue,
that will welcome political and institutional figures, artists and
intellectuals, and all other men and women who wish to listen and to
participate.
The initiative, which develops from the
“Courtyard of the Gentiles” organised by the Pontifical Council
for Culture some years ago, proposes, in the birthplace of the saint
who “was not afraid to speak with the Sultan of Egypt, to embrace a
leper, to involve all of creation in a choral chant”, to delve into
the deepest identity of people, “way beyond differences of faith,
ideas, behaviour and political and social alliances”, as Cardinal
Gianfranco Ravasi explained today in a press conference held in the
Holy See Press Office.
The other speakers at the Conference
were the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, the director of the Museum of
Bardo Moncef Ben Moussa, the architect Santiago Calatrava and the
philosopher Massimo Cacciari.
