00:00Italy will be a guest of honor at the Fiera del Libro di Francoforte 2024, scheduled from October 16 to 20.
00:11For the occasion, the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy has framed the ceremony of issuing the ordinary francobollo,
00:19belonging to the thematic series The Excellences of the Productive and Economic System, dedicated to it.
00:25Produced by the Poligrafico Institute and Zecca dello Stato and distributed by Italian Posts,
00:31the francobollo re-proposes the participation logo with the motto Radici nel Futuro
00:36and the colors of the tricolor represented in an open book from which a sprout is born,
00:41symbol of growth and able to project towards the future.
00:45This francobollo is a concrete thing.
00:47I said in the press conference that when everything will be finished on October 20,
00:51our memory box will be full.
00:53But we will have imagination, memory.
00:56This francobollo will tangibly remind us that we have done a job
01:00and we hope we have all done a good job together.
01:03Authors, editors and we are doing our best.
01:06The author Elisabetta Dami will also represent Italy at the event in Francoforte.
01:11Italy is a wonderful country that I am proud to represent this year,
01:16together with many other authors.
01:18I see that we have a lot to say to the world
01:21and I will be happy to participate in this fair,
01:24which is the most important meeting ever,
01:28so that many book lovers meet.
01:31Long live books, this wonderful tool of friendship and sharing among all readers of the world.
01:37For the Minister of Business of Made in Italy Adolfo Urso,
01:41Italy today more than ever represents a cultural power.
01:45Capable of combining cultural production with the economy and the productive system of our country.
01:55For this reason, in the philatelic level, the Ministry of Culture has often participated,
02:04because even in a francobollo, which represents a part of our collective memory,
02:11it combines culture and business,
02:16so that we can better interpret and value what is the essence of our nation.
