Onorati di assistere all’istituzione del gruppo interparlamentare Italia-Belgio Più sincero ringraziamento al Presidente Simone Billi per l’impegno e ai membri del gruppo parlamentare per il loro contributo a rafforzare i rapporti tra i nostri due Paesi e le loro Regioni 🙏🏻

🤝Un onore incontrare il Capo di Gabinetto Luca Vecchi della Regione Emilia-Romagna 👉🏻Confidiamo nel potenziare la collaborazione già eccellente.




Italië is één van de landen met een groot aantal studenten Nederlands. Heel fijn om met universitair hoofddocent Marco Prandoni en Wouter de Leeuw van Università di Bologna van gedachten te kunnen wisselen. In een gezellige lokale trattoria met lokale gerechten. Tortellini in brodo 😍


Delighted to participate in the opening of ‘Barocco globale’ in the Scuderie del Quirinale with Minister of Culture Alessandro Giuli. The exhibition tells the story of Rome as a crossroad of cultures and features two magnificent paintings by the Flemish baroque artist Anthony van Dijck.


🎙️ “We need forward thinking, flexibility and compromises” A call from Independent Chairperson of the Food and Agriculture Organization Council Hans Hoogeveen to conduct our work this week in a culture of respect.


🇺🇳 An eye-opening meeting at World Food Programme, the world’s largest humanitarian organization and #NobelPeacePrize laureate We discussed our cooperation and the challenges ahead. Director Abdallah Alwardat 🇺🇳 informed us on how World Food Programme fulfils its lifesaving mission, even in difficult circumstances




Today was the start of the Belgian Pavillion at the 19th Architecture Biennale in Venice. Minister Caroline Gennez inaugurated the exhibition ‘Building Biospheres’ by Bas Smets and Stefano Mancuso, examining the impact of plant intelligence on architecture.




All roads lead to Rome, especially here in the 🇳🇱 City of Maastricht - a former Roman fortress on the river Meuse. Great exchange with Mayor Wim Hillenaar in City Hall on the ‘most European of all Dutch cities’ and the European project that we are both invested in: Einstein Telescope
