I wish to extend a warm greeting to the organizers and to all participants - wrote Sergio Mattarella in a message - especially to young people who express their hope to see the wars, violence and limitations of human rights canceled in every corner of the world. Peace - continued the Head of State - is an issue that does not only appeal to the heads of nations or restricted ruling classes. The peoples are suffering the consequences of wars. It is from them that a new season of cooperation, sustainable development and mutual respect can come.
