Four days Mestre presents meetings, debates, book presentations, aimed at discussion and reflection on issues of policy by organizing a festival dedicated entirely to the art of government, an even more urgent need in this historical stage. Opportunity to revitalize the center of Mestre and tackle topical issues through the authoritative voices of scholars, journalists, professors, writers. During the Festival there will be a lecture by the President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano. Three daily meetings and a show at the end of the evening will take turns on stage in the square and square Ferretto Pelicans at 17, so many opportunities for reflection open to debate with the audience.
