EUROPE/ITALY - The "Sinderesi Foundation" celebrates its first ten years of activity in Rome

Rome (Agenzia Fides) – The Sinderesi Foundation celebrates its first ten years of activity with a commemorative evening scheduled for Saturday, September 27, at 6:00 p.m., in the Baldini Hall of the Church of Santa Maria in Portico, in the Campitelli district (Piazza Campitelli 9).

The Foundation, presided over by Archbishop Samuele Sangalli, Adjunct Secretary of the Dicastery for Evangelization (Section for First Evangelization and New Particular Churches), carries out its work in Rome, Milan, the province of Lecco, and the African State of Mali.
“The three guidelines that animate the Foundation’s work,” notes the press release issued for the occasion, “are social service, active citizenship, and interreligious dialogue.”

Over the past decade, Sinderesi has hosted nearly 100 public meetings and promoted various projects in Calabria, Umbria, and Campania.
"Among the regular partners of our projects," Archbishop Sangalli emphasized, "we must mention Nicola Gratteri, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the Catholic University of Milan, the City of Lecco, the Pontifical Gregorian University, LUISS Guido Carli in Rome, the Jewish Community of Rome, the Islamic Cultural Center of Italy, the Religion Today Film Festival, and the Italian branch of the University of Notre Dame."

The celebratory evening will include an open conversation with Lorena Bianchetti, host of the Rai TV program "A Sua Immagine," a musical interlude by the string quartet "La Cantoria Ensemble," and a closing address by the Foundation's president.

The highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the first edition of the "Sinderesi Award for an Ethics of Education", which will be awarded to a married couple, Gianluigi De Palo, Professor of Ethical Leadership, and Anna Chiara Gambini, a digital content creator. The award will be given every two years and will always be awarded to a man and a woman.
"We started with Gianluigi De Palo and Anna Chiara Gambini, who offer authentic testimony of how a father and mother, a husband and wife, do not limit themselves to educating their large family, but are also constant in paving educational paths for the community, on numerous occasions and in numerous areas," Archbishop Sangalli emphasized.

Following the meeting in Rome, the closing of the tenth anniversary celebrations will take place on October 17 in Lecco, with an evening open to the public on the theme of "taking care," the central objective of all the Foundation's activities. (Agenzia Fides, 26/9/2025)
