HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH MONSIGNOR FISICHELLA. BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH, STEM CELLS AND BIOLOGIC WILL. AT SALA FRAU QUOTING KANT, PASCAL, BOBBIO AND REFERRING TO BERLUSCONI’S GIRLFRIENDS.

Spoleto Festival is not only dance, theatre and exhibitions but also some quite conversations with important characters.Last Saturday night Giorgio Ferrara introduced two great men. On one hand, Monsignor Rino Fisichella, president of the Papal Academy and columnist for Osservatore Romano. On the other, Giovanni Maria Vian, director of the same newspaper and substitute for Ernesto Galli della Loggia editorialist for Corriere della Sera forced to cancel the meeting because of a bereavement. Eluana Englaro’s case, the stem cells have been the main themes of this interview to Fisichella deeply focused on the relationship between life and death.When Vian reminded Fisichella that for Pascal men didn’t think about misery, death or ignorance in order to be happy while today children are so precocious, monsignor Fisichella said:  “It’s true. Then, at seventy they look for a young girlfriend".
