On 9 May 1950, the press was summoned to the Quai d'Orsay, headquarters of the Foreign Ministry in Paris, to witness a memorable communication. Then French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman, in collaboration with his friend and advisor Jean Monnet, outlined his idea to create a new form of political cooperation for Europe that would make war between European nations unthinkable.
Schuman's ambition was to create a European institution that would pool and manage coal and steel production. The following year, a treaty was signed giving birth to such a body.
Since 1985, the French politician's historic declaration is the birth certificate of the European Union, and each year, heads of state and government celebrate 9 May as Europe Day.
To celebrate it, the European Parliament, the European Commission, the City of Rome, and the Embassy of France in Italy await you on 9 May at the event concert to reinforce peace and unity in Europe.
At 7:30 p.m., an extraordinarily illuminated Piazza del Campidoglio is ready to welcome the Philharmonic Orchestra of Rome with violinists Oleksandr Semchuk and Ksenia Milas, he Ukrainian, she Russian, husband, and wife in life and couple also in art. Following, the Tyrtarion Choir of the Vivarium Novum Academy will perform.
The Mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, the Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Paolo Gentiloni, the Vice President of the European Parliament Pina Picierno, the French Ambassador to Italy Christian Masset, and other European authorities will attend the celebration.
This year, Europe Day witnesses the closeness of the European Union to the Ukrainian people and remembers David Sassoli, President of the European Parliament, who died last January.
Simona Sala, director of Tg3, will present the event. Acea has collaborated with the lighting of the square.
