Servire il Paese da diplomatici è un onore.
Quando aiuta direttamente le persone, assieme a tanti colleghi di @DPCgov, @MinisteroDifesa, @WHO, @eu_echo,
la soddisfazione è ancora più grande.
Diplomacy is a wonderful job.
When you contribute to relief efforts, it's a true honour.
I met #EmmaBonino many times for work, but my best memory is as a student.
As @eu_echo Commissioner she gave a passionate talk at @LSEnews in '99. I asked a question at the end,
she was open and easy going.
A remarkable example for youth aspiring to work in international affairs.

This past week with @TFletcher & @ocha_ukraine, it was profoundly humbling to meet with volunteers and communities who forge ahead despite the brutality they face. #latestwork

To those funding and fuelling the world’s wars:
You must do more to protect civilians, including the aid workers trying to help them.
On #WorldHumanitarianDay, our warning is clear:
The time for concern is over. The time for consequence is now.

Memory is a need,
prevention is an obligation.

Forza Bosnia.
I really need to tell you what has just happened.
Breakfast at cafe with colleague before going to airport.
It’s quiet around, day after partying.
We are done and one moment before standing up to go paying, a 60-years old man suddenly pops up from nowhere, quickly grabs our check and goes to counter.
At first I don’t understand, I think he wants to tease us.
Then he starts chatting with waitress and pulls out a roll of notes while she smiles.
I ask him “What? What are you doing?”.
He smiles nodding and keeps paying, saying something in Bosnian and then “No no no”.
I tell him “Why? But why?”.
He winks “Ok ok” while all waitresses now smiles.
Again I say “You don’t. You don’t have to”. And then I lean to him and I hug him and we pat on shoulders.
As he leaves I ask him “But tell me your name”. And he goes “Italia Italia, it’s ok” and walks away.
60 years old, a face that looked toughened by life and hard work.
Who knows what he saw when he was 30 in Bosnia.
Who knows what Italy was for him, when the Italian soldiers came to Bosnia to help, when Italy came to play in Bosnia on September 1996.
How long it takes for us to witness every day a pure act of kindness?
How better life can be with kindness?
Hvala Bosnia.
Have a joyous World Cup

🇮🇹 & 🇧🇦: A football friendship forged in the 1996 "match of peace".
So many Bosnian stars have shone in Italy since! Who stands out the most for you? ⚽

Leggo comprensibili ma ingiuste lamentele e polemiche perchè @ItalyMFA farebbe fatica a far rientrare migliaia di italiani. La paura è naturale (e sana) così come l’orrore per la guerra. Ma la guerra non è videogame né film. Per esperienza (reiterata): @ItalyMFA sono formidabili

Oggi i corpi di Giovanni, Emanuele, Achille, Chiara e Riccardo sono tornati in Italia. Quello di Sofia dai suoi familiari a Lugano. Voglio ringraziare l’Aeronautica Militare, la Protezione Civile, il personale del Ministero degli Esteri, in particolare la nostra Ambasciata a Berna, il Consolato di Ginevra e l’Unità di Crisi della Farnesina. Uomini e donne che da quella tragica notte di capodanno non hanno mai smesso di essere vicini alle famiglie delle vittime di Crans-Montana. Oggi ci stringiamo a loro in un lungo e silenzioso abbraccio.
