moderator

A year after the death of Cardinal Martini, the Corriere della Sera Foundation, in collaboration with the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, recalls the figure of the Archbishop of Milan proposing a reflection of many on the value and legacy of his work.

In remembrance of the Cardinal there will be those who were closest and had the opportunity to converse with him on the issues that characterized his bishopric: Marco Garzonio, an editorial journalist for the Corriere della Sera, profound connoisseur of the Cardinal’s work, his biographer (Il profeta. Vita di Carlo Maria Martini, Mondadori, 2012) and author of the theatrical text Martini: The Cardinal and the others; Don Damiano Modena, a priest in Vallo della Lucania, personal assistant of the Cardinal and author of the book Carlo Maria Martini. Custode del mistero nel cuore della storia (Paoline Editoriale Libri, 2005); his sister Maris Martini, the Mayor of Rome Ignazio Marino, a frequent interlocutor with the Cardinal on bioethical issues and co-author with him of Credere e conoscere (Einaudi, 2012).

The encounter, coordinated by the President of the Corriere della Sera Foundation Piergaetano Marchetti, intends to be a first step towards a thorough analysis of a figure that, with his constant commitment aimed at understanding the most controversial cultural and social matters, has become a reference point for our country.

This encounter is organized for the presentation of the show Martini: The Cardinal and the others by Marco Garzonio, directed by Felice Cappa, conceived and produced by the Corriere della Sera Foundation and Spoleto56 Festival of Two Worlds.
