The Secretary of State for Justice, Social Security and Family Affairs, Stefano Canti, took part in Rome in the De Sanctis Award for Publishing, Information, Creativity and AI, held in the multipurpose hall of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. The event brought together representatives of Italian institutions and the cultural world to discuss the transformations reshaping information and new technologies.
The San Marino government representative’s participation forms part of the ongoing collaboration between the Republic of San Marino and the De Sanctis Foundation, both committed to promoting culture, the rule of law and fundamental rights. This year’s edition of the award focused in particular on the evolution of publishing, the protection of information, the value of creativity, and the ethical and regulatory questions surrounding artificial intelligence.
“Taking part in this event at the Presidency of the Italian Council of Ministers,” said the Secretary of State for Justice, Social Security and Family Affairs, Stefano Canti, “is an important opportunity to reaffirm the strategic and cultural closeness between San Marino and Italy on issues that are reshaping our society.”
The initiative was attended by figures from Italy’s ministerial, institutional and cultural circles, including Gianni Letta, as part of an event designed to recognise individuals and organisations that have distinguished themselves in various fields.
The collaboration with the De Sanctis Foundation will continue in the coming weeks on Titano as well. On 30 November, San Marino will host the first De Sanctis Award dedicated to peace, a new category created to honour individuals and institutions that have stood out internationally in promoting peace.
Looking ahead to the event, Canti underlined the Republic’s historic role and the significance of the initiative: “San Marino — the ancient Land of Liberty — with this award consolidates its historic role as guardian of the values of freedom and peace.”
