"Cimbro, Ladino and Mòcheno: three languages to save. Projects for the protection and promotion of Trentino's historical linguistic communities" was the theme chosen for this year's first appointment of the cycle of meetings "Dialogues with minorities", now in its third edition, which was held yesterday at the Autonomous Province of Trento building. Speakers, who developed various topics, included representatives of cultural bodies and institutions responsible for linguistic minorities, as well as representatives of the educational world and local institutions in the territories where the Ladin, Mòchena and Cimbrian minorities are present.
The President of the Autonomous Province of Trento, Maurizio Fugatti, brought his greetings during the proceedings, emphasising the attention paid by the Council to the issue. 'There must be a constant and continuous commitment to safeguarding minority languages and the identity of which they are an expression,' Fugatti said, 'because our autonomy has deep roots that are also based on linguistic minorities. Your work must therefore also be supported and endorsed by institutions such as the Autonomous Province of Trento.'
President Fugatti then emphasised: 'It is right to give the community an account of your commitment and the support provided by the Province.
