The inauguration of the 462nd academic year of the University of Sassari took place at the Teatro Comunale .

Guest of honor was Cardinal Matteo Maria Zuppi , president of the Italian Episcopal Conference (CEI), who held the lectio magistralis entitled " The pillars for peaceful coexistence in the light of the encyclical Fratelli tutti, by Pope Francis ".

At the entrance to the City Hall, Cardinal Zuppi chanted: "There are many wars, many pieces of the world war, and a country like ours must promote peace throughout the world ."

Before the report by the rector Gavino Mariotti on what has been achieved in the Sassari university, the mayor of Sassari Nanni Campus took the floor, spending a few words to underline «the duty to go and vote, not to give up the right to try to choose the good for one's land".

The Metropolitan Archbishop of Sassari, Monsignor Gian Franco Saba, thanked Cardinal Zuppi for having accepted the invitation, while the regional councilor for Health Carlo Doria, representing governor Solinas, said: «The relations between the Region and the University they have never been so close and fruitful."
