The prize was given out\u00a0by the mayor Massimo Federici together with the president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities Renzo Gattegna and the Minister of Justice Andrea\u00a0Orlando.\u00a0The ceremony took place last Thursday.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n&#8220;Seventy years ago, the help that our city gave to the survivors of the Shoah represented the first gesture of reparation and friendship towards what in a few years was going to become the State of Israel. President Napolitano cemented the relationship between our two countries and for this we are here today,\u201d mayor Federici stressed in his remarks.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n&#8220;President Napolitano has tirelessly worked to protect the Memory of the Shoah, and above all to promote and establish peace in the Middle East. His words and actions have always been up to his role,&#8221; Gattegna said, remembering the numerous meetings and joint initiatives of the last decade.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nMoved by the recognition, President Napolitano recalled some fundamental moments of his commitment, such as the historic mission to Israel in 1986 as the head of foreign affairs for the Communist Party, his friendship with Shimon Peres, and the initiatives that he led to cement a political and cultural bridge between Italy and Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Adam Smulevich \u00a0 The former President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano won the &#8220;Premio Exodus&#8221;, an international award given by the municipality of La Spezia, a city\u00a0in the\u00a0Liguria\u00a0region from where\u00a023,000\u00a0Jewish displaced persons\u00a0managed to leave Italy clandestinely for\u00a0Mandate Palestine\u00a0in the period between 1945 and 1948.\u00a0 \u00a0 The award has been given to Napolitano in&hellip; <a class=\"more\" rel=\"bookmark\" href=\"https:\/\/moked.it\/international\/2016\/05\/29\/news-emeritus-president-of-italy-wins-award-for-his-effort-to-strengthen-italy-israel-ties\/\">leggi&nbsp;<i class=\"fa fa-chevron-circle-right\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4296,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[],"position":[],"class_list":["post-3121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
