A weekend titled “Salaam Iran - Incontri/scontri sulla cultura persiana
a Salemi” dedicated to Persian culture in Salemi with
exhibitions, films and discussions on Iran offering visitors to learn and
understand about the Persian culture.
Following the recent Salemi council initiative to dedicate a
street in the historic town to the student’s of Tehran called “Via Studenti di Teheran”.Vittorio Sgarbi,
the mayor of Salemi, continues to promote
Salemi where historically the 3 religions of Christian, Jewish and Muslim lived
in peace.
Following the
success of today’s events Vittorio Sgarbi has announced that there is a project
to build a Mosque and to open an international school of mosaic
restoration in Salemi. Further details
will be announced by Sgarbi during the closing event of the weekend Sunday
evening in the mayor’s residence over a Sicilian-Persian dinner.
Artisitic director
of the weekend’s events are Franca Paoli and Dario Colombo.
Editor’s comment : Interestingly recently Sgarbi
also took the Salemi brand to Jerusalem. Maybe he is positioning himself as the
global peace maker and after Obama’s Nobel peace prize. It would be interesting
to see what Ahmadinejad has to say.
