Grazie, Presidente Mattarella

The Diocese of Rieti–San Salvatore Maggiore thanked President Sergio Mattarella for choosing Amatrice to inaugurate the school year. The diocese stated that the choice honors the area ten years after the earthquake and brings national attention to Amatrice and other territories marked by the seismic event.

The diocese noted that the President's focus on schools highlights the importance of education and the youth. According to the diocese, reconstruction involves more than restoring buildings and roads, as it must also rebuild trust and create conditions for young people to live in the region. The diocese also referenced the President's comments regarding a school system that addresses a changing world while keeping the person at the center of progress and technology.
