I strongly believe in the role of culture as the science of coexistence and as a place where the most significant interactions of a society are built. I hope to be as good as those who came before me,\u201d said Ottolenghi on the eve of his appointment. <\/span><span class=\"tm5\">Discussing programs and general work settings would be premature, explained the new president of the Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah (MEIS), \u201c<\/span><span class=\"tm5\">but fortunately, the museum is a well-functioning machine: I <\/span><span class=\"tm5\">will be in touch with its director<\/span><span class=\"tm5\"> Amedeo Spagnoletto, a person I respect, to better understand and orient myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\"><span class=\"tm5\">Ottolenghi will still bring his vision to MEIS, which he summarizes as following: \u201cCultivate culture, on one hand by defending some key principles with calm firmness, and on the other by constantly being open to debate and new ideas. To do so we should be inspired by what the masters of the Mishna did.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\"><span class=\"tm5\">The same spirit, he said, \u201chas permeated the work done at the Jewish Museum of Bologna, allowing a serene debate on every topic.\u201d For now, Ottolenghi will not resign from his position in Bologna, \u201cavoiding overlaps, but creating connections where useful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Normal\"><span class=\"tm5\">Together with his father Emilio z.l. and Tito Menzani, Ottolenghi is the author of the book <\/span><em><span class=\"tm6\">Il merito dei padri.
