It is a cultural event organized by members of the Catholic movement Communion and Liberation;^[1] it is composed of conferences, exhibitions, and artistic performances. The first edition was held in January 2011. The event follows the consolidated experience gained in Italy from the annual week-long event held in Rimini (Italy), called the Meeting for friendship among peoples,^[2] which has become a major event in Italy and attracts intellectuals, scientists, politicians, and religious figures of very high profile from all over the world.
