During the ceremony, Samer highlighted the symbolic importance of Trieste for liberal thought and the historical connection between Luigi Einaudi and Manlio Cecovini, documented through their correspondence.
Andrea Cangini, Secretary General of the Foundation, explained that Trieste was chosen for its role as a crossroads of cultures, religions, and ethnicities that have coexisted harmoniously. He also announced the launch of a School of Liberalism and a new international initiative based in Trieste, focused on the Balkans.
