After the collapse of USSR\, the diplomatic relations have been restored in 1992.\nDuring his official visit to Georgia in July 2018\, our President\, Sergio Mattarella pointed out that our two countries both yearn for freedom\, democracy and peace.\nGeorgia\, a bridge between Europe and Asia\, as well as Italy in the Mediterranean area\, at the crossroads of continents\, heirs of ancient civilizations.\nThroughout the centuries the Road of Silk has been the path along which merchants\, travelers\, artists created intense relationships\, an open door towards different cultures\, faiths and ideas.\nIn these days\, the Road of Silk is regaining its central role in tightening the connection between Europe and Asia at many levels.\nFrom Economy to Culture\, many case in point make stronger the millennial friendship between Italy and Georgia. Political\, economic\, cultural and scientific relations are constantly expanding. Our friendship is deeply rooted in the past\, but projected into the future.\n\nDate: April 18\, 16:00\, Ilia State University \nVenue: “Ligamus” Book Store\, 32 Chavchavadze Avenue \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here]
