The mayor of Cagliari Paolo Truzzu and the municipal councilor for culture Maria Dolores Picciau will also participate. For the mayor «Ideario is a refined proposal, of high cultural depth, respectful of all ideas, but firm in its beliefs. It correctly interprets our approach to the debate: contemporary, free, non-conformist, distant from single thought and firm in its values. The circulation of ideas is the basis of a civil society and from the comparison arise summaries of reflection that help to live a complex contemporaneity, not always easy to interpret. This is the role of culture."

The Festival will be inaugurated on the 30th at 5.15pm with speeches by the artistic director and mayor Truzzu. At 5.30 pm, the journalist Flaminia Camilletti will introduce the debate "War and conflict scenarios" , in which the journalist and war correspondent Gian Micalessin , the director of "Defense Analysis" Gianandrea Gaiani and the university professor Michela Mercuri will take part, who, given the continuation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the tensions in the Middle East, will analyze the new geopolitical situation, with the inevitable repercussions for Italy and Europe.
