The participants will include the author Alessandro Baricco, the head of UNICEF Italy Roberto Salvan, and Ali Mohamed Gedi, Prime Minister of Somalia.
"Dolomites of Peace" can be expected to generate a high standard of debate on subjects of concern in the world today such as poverty, hunger, health, the environment, education, and peaceful coexistence between different peoples, cultures and creeds. The events will be held along the Peace Trail - a special attraction of the Trentino in the form of a path over 300 kilometres long leading through the Dolomites from the Marmolada to Passo Stelvio and marking the front in the First World War. The meetings will be held in a simple setting in the open air and will all start at 2 p.m. In spite of the Great War backcloth - complete with fortifications, trenches and fortresses - the talks will focus not on the past but on the problems of today and visions for the future.
