Europe Day 2021

Tuesday May 11, 2021 at 11:00

The Center for European Studies (www.centrostudieuropei.it), directed by Prof. Massimo Pendenza, in the context of the activities of the Chair of Sociology of Europe, organizes, in collaboration with the Department of Political and Social Studies (DiSPS), the seventh edition of Europe Day.

This year’s guest is Viktor Elbling (Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany in Italy), who will hold a Lectio entitled Together into the future: Italy and Germany in Europe.

The seminar will be preceded by greetings from the Magnificent Rector of the University of Salerno, Prof. Vincenzo Loia, Prof. Gennaro Iorio (Director of the Department of Political and Social Studies, UniSa), and Prof. Francesco Amoretti (President of the Didactic Council of Diplomatic Studies, UniSa).

Prof. Massimo Pendenza (President of the Didactic Council of Sociology and Director of the Center for European Studies, UniSa) introduces the meeting.

Before the lesson, a String and Voice Quartet composed by the Masters of the Liceo Musicale Alfano I Cello Voice – a cello and voice sextet – from Salerno will cheer the audience online by playing the Hymn to Joy. Since 1972, the melody, taken from the Ninth symphony composed in 1823 by Ludwig van Beethoven who put Friedrich von Schiller’s ode to music in 1785, has been used by the EU as its own anthem.

The meeting will take place in streaming mode, via the Microsoft Teams platform.
