Description
There are 142 municipalities in Italy that have believed in the family as a driver of development and opportunity. This will be discussed on 29 March at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (PUSC) in Rome. Among the authorities present will be the President of the Autonomous Province of Trento Maurizio Fugatti, the Minister for the Family, Birth and Equal Opportunities Eugenia Maria Roccella, His Eminence Zuppi President of the Italian Episcopal Conference, and the Bishop of the Archdiocese of Trento Don Lauro Tisi. The event is promoted by the land where it all began, the Autonomous Province of Trento, which was a pioneer in Italy in the construction of the first family policies. The Trentino 'model' crossed the provincial borders within a few years and contaminated other territories, starting in particular from the municipal administrations, the first to ask for the know-how to introduce family welfare and birth support policies in their territories as well. An operational tool to support the Trentino action was the 'National Network of Family Friendly Municipalities' founded in 2017 by the Autonomous Province of Trento with the Municipality of Alghero and the National Association of Large Families.
