“An extraordinary honor and a privilege to attend the Gala Reception at the Quirinale Palace in Rome, hosted by the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, on the occasion of the State Visit of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to Italy.

As an Italian citizen and Head of Dubai Opera, I am so proud to witness and celebrate the enduring bond between Italy and the United Arab Emirates: two nations united by a deep commitment to diplomacy, cultural exchange and shared progress.

This gathering is a testament to the power of collaboration, mutual respect, and the role of culture in strengthening international relations. Moments like these inspire us to continue fostering meaningful connections that transcend borders, enrich our societies and shape a future of unity and innovation.”
