On November 9, Med-Or Foundation hosted, at its headquarters in Rome, the presentation of the book “Il Mediterraneo e l’Italia. Dal mare nostrum alla centralità comprimaria” by Egidio Ivetic, Professor of Eastern European History at the University of Padua. The speakers were Med-Or Foundation Chairman, Marco Minniti; the Chief of Defense Staff, Adm. Giuseppe Cavo Dragone; Lucio Caracciolo, Director of Limes; Germano Dottori, Scientific Advisor of Limes; Alessia Melcangi, Associate Professor of Contemporary History of North Africa and the Middle East at La Sapienza University of Rome.

The meeting, moderated by Alessandro Giuli, represented an opportunity for reflecting on the evolution of geopolitical dynamics in the Mediterranean Sea and on the role that Italy has played there throughout history. During the event, the speakers recalled the key role played by Italy through the permutations of regional equilibria. What emerges is the image of a country inextricably linked to the Broader Mediterranean, a crucial chessboard, today more than ever, for understanding the contemporary world.
