ROMA – Avvicinare nel modo più agevole e veloce possibile imprenditori e lavoratori italiani e canadesi, anche in tempi di Covid. È una delle nuove, principali sfide della Canadian Chamber in Italy, associazione no profit attiva da anni a Roma, che oggi è pronta a rilanciare la sua attività con un direttivo rafforzato, a cominciare dalla nuova presidente Caterina Passariello – volto emergente tra i più promettenti nel mondo della giovane imprenditoria e project manager della società di consulenza alle imprese “Euromed International Trade” – ed il vicepresidente Domenico Letizia, giornalista e analista casertano tra i più attivi autori di ricerche e approfondimenti sulla blue economy, la pesca e la geopolitica canadese (nelle foto in alto, la presidente ed il vice). →

And if it is translated into all the languages of the world, even distances fall. It’s what happened with “Parliamo con gli occhi” (“Let’s talk with our eyes”), which in a few months has become a sort of multilingual anthem (from Italian to Afrikaans, an end to the language of Native Canadians) that embraces the world just when the world itself cannot. A great little miracle in a pandemic, transformed into a project called, not by chance, “Poetry embraces the world”. →
