Tesori dell'antichità a Egnazia

La storia millenaria di Egnazia in Puglia si dipana sin dal XV secolo a.C., quando la sua posizione geografica strategica la trasformava in un cruciale centro commerciale. Citata da illustri figure come Orazio e Plinio il Vecchio, Egnazia vantava una fiorente produzione di ceramica di Gnathia, che ne segnava l'identità e la prosperità. Questa distintiva ceramica, con le sue vivaci decorazioni su sfondo nero, non solo rappresentava un'importante risorsa economica per la città, ma testimoniava anche il livello di abilità e ingegno dei suoi abitanti. Ogni frammento di ceramica rinvenuto nelle rovine di Egnazia racconta una storia, un legame tangibile con il passato che invita i visitatori a immergersi ancora di più nell'antica bellezza di questa straordinaria città pugliese.

The event will be attended by the heads of state and government of the seven member states, as well as the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission representing the European Union. Representatives of a number of states and international organizations invited by the country holding the presidency will also take part in the work.Where will the G7 2024 be held?The G7 Summit will be held in Borgo Egnazia, Puglia, in the town of Savelletri in Fasano (province of Brindisi)What is the G7?The Group of Seven (G7) is an informal forum that brings together Italy, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The European Union also participates in the Group, represented at the summits by the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission.What is the purpose of the G7?Established as a forum for dialogue and coordination on economic and financial matters, the G7 has expanded to include several other areas of international activity such as aid to development and contribution to global peace and security.Among the priorities of the Italian presidency are: the defense of the international system based on the force of law, dented by the Russian aggression against Ukraine; the conflict in the Middle East, with its consequences on the global agenda; the relationship with developing nations and emerging economies, with special attention towards Africa; climate, energy and food security; migration issues; opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence.How did the G7 come into being?The Group was established as a platform for economic and financial cooperation in response to the 1973 energy crisis. In 1976, with the admission of Canada, the G7 assumed its current configuration.

Each year, starting January 1, one of the member states takes over the leadership of the Group on a rotating basis. The presiding nation serves as a temporary secretariat, hosting the work of the Group and the Leaders' Summit, and exercising a prominent role in setting the agenda and identifying priorities.How does the G7 end?The G7 Summit concludes with the adoption of a communiqué in which important policy commitments are outlined. These communiqués-and G7 decisions in general-have a significant influence on global governance and its decision-making processes.The G7 2024 logoThe central element of the logo of the Italian G7 Presidency is a centuries-old olive tree, among the most widespread and identifying trees of the Italian and Mediterranean landscape, also present in the emblem of the Italian Republic, whose national identity it embodies.
