Matteo Renzi: "A nursery of ideas"

"Crazy, a crazy experience! Eleven hours of incessant debate after six yesterday. The Leopolda is a nursery of ideas without equal, no one does something like this in Italy!", is the comment that Matteo Renzi published on social media, at the end of the second day of the Florentine event. "We talked about everything, about politics, about hope, about life. To those who criticize the Leopolda I say: before using clichés, take a tour of this station. Listen to all the debates on YouTube. Be surprised by the beauty of the dialogue, the discussion, the ideas. Today at the Leopolda we did politics with a capital P. And my heart is moved and grateful. Seeing almost a thousand young people discussing and getting passionate is a gift. And knowing that thousands of people believe in the possibility of finding Ithaca again, taking Ithaca back, rethinking Ithaca".
