The current corona crisis marks a deep break – also and not least in German-Italian relations. The actual extent of the catastrophe, the changes associated with it and the consequential costs in all conceivable areas – politics, science, culture and art, economy, society – cannot yet be foreseen.
For the relationship between the two countries Germany and Italy, the crisis of the Corona pandemic is certainly a great challenge, but also an opportunity to learn from the omissions and mistakes of the past, to overcome differences and work together for a better and fairer future. Germany and Italy can and should lead by example.
The “Fachbüro für den Deutsch-Italienischen Dialog / Ufficio per il dialogo italo-tedesco” would like to contribute to this with a new web seminar series “Deutsch-Italienische Dialogue / Dialoghi italo-tedeschi”. The German-Italian Centre for the European Dialogue Villa Vigoni takes up the initiative of the “Fachbüro” in its new, extended web programme. In this way a broad virtual lecture and discussion forum is created. The common goal is to enrich the debates between Italy and Germany for a common Europe from political, (cultural) historical, economic and social perspectives. The aim of Villa Vigoni’s novel cooperation with external partners such as the “Fachbüro für den deutsch-italienischen Dialog” is to give additional impetus to German-Italian relations in these difficult times and to offer the interested public a broad range of topics.
