Rome, on the occasion of World Children's Day: Mayor Gualtieri's welcome letter

The Mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri sent a welcome letter to all boys and girls who will participate in the “World Children's Day” scheduled for Saturday 25th at the Olympic Stadium and for Sunday May 26 in St. Peter's Square. This is the first major event leading up to the Jubilee that Rome is preparing to welcome.

The mayor he wanted to express their support for the meeting wanted by Pope Francis, “I thank him for his sensitivity and closeness to the city, convinced as I am that each one of us will be able to bring to Rome a seed of hope from the country we come from, together with our own smile, our own desires and thoughts about the future”.

After remembering how much the symbol of the Lupa who breastfeeds the two little Romulus and Remus represents for Rome the "sincere gesture of love” at the basis of its history, the Mayor recalled that “Taking loving care of childhood is everyone's duty and a vocation of this city of ours, which we adults too often forget about”. They are necessary for everyone “clear look at the world" is that “right request for brotherhood and care for creation” who accompany the children, whose voice we have the duty to make heard loudly and throughout the world.

The letter will be published on the official website www.giornatamondialedeibambini.org, where registrations are still open to participate.
