The FondAzioneRoma Symposia

To further underscore its ability to interpret the world around it, Fondazione Roma, alongside its institutional philanthropic activities, has launched a new ethical and social initiative entitled the “FondAzioneRoma Symposium”. Within this framework, it organizes moments of encounter, reflection, and proposal on issues of great relevance and urgency for the entire country, with the aim of fostering an open outlook on reality, free from prejudice or limitations of any kind.

A listening center, a space for dialogue between institutions and civil society, designed to bring forward practical and concrete proposals to be put into action.

Within this perspective, a series of periodic meetings has been launched, during which guests of recognized institutional and professional standing engage in dialogue and offer their constructive contributions on the topical issues addressed each time.

The meetings have enjoyed considerable success, particularly thanks to their agile and proposal-oriented format, and have been attended by leading figures from government and the political sphere, including Ministers Andrea Abodi, Adolfo Urso and Matteo Piantedosi; Undersecretaries Federico Freni and Paola Frassinetti; as well as Lorenzo Guerini, Roberto Gualtieri and PierPaolo Bombardieri; prominent representatives from the world of sport, such as Gabriele Gravina, Giovanni Malagò, Giancarlo Abete, Luigi De Siervo, Elena Linari, Paolo Bettini, Adriano Panatta and Paolo Bertolucci; managers and entrepreneurs, including Alberto Tripi and Lucilla Sioli; the astronaut Luca Parmitano; and well-known figures from the performing arts, among them Carlo Verdone, Eleonora Abbagnato, Paola Minaccioni, and Carlotta and Susanna Proietti.
