December 14, 2021 We still need "attention and caution" towards the pandemic. This is the request that comes from the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, who takes the opportunity of the delivery to the Quirinale of the awards to the Alfieri della Repubblica (girls and boys under 18 who have distinguished themselves in the field of culture, science, art , sport and volunteering) to underline how the Covid emergency is by no means over.
"In the two previous years - said Mattarella addressing the young winners - it was not possible, due to the pandemic, to hold this meeting and therefore those who received this recognition experienced it in the newspapers, in the press. Now fortunately - he added the head of state - we can meet even if the conditions always require attention and prudence from us ".
"From the episodes and behaviors you have put in place, an exhortation emerges to improve the way of life in our country, to make it consistent with these values and to help each other. Thank you very much", said Mattarella, underlining how "solidarity, support , mutual sense of the common life of coexistence ".
"I am sure - added the Head of State - that in the future you will maintain these feelings and these attitudes and this makes us have confidence in the future of our country. I am convinced that, like you, many girls and many boys will maintain these attitudes, these beliefs, these attitudes , these behaviors. This is the best investment for the future of our country ".
