After the successful 2020 G20 Interfaith Forum gathering of leaders from across the world, Italy’s Fscire team has now taken the reins and started coordinating the 2021 G20 Interfaith Forum, slated for September in Bologna. The theme for the global gathering will be: “Time to Heal: Peace Among Cultures, Understanding Between Religions.”

To highlight the passing of the baton from Saudi Arabia to Italy, the G20 Interfaith Forum hosted an online handover ceremony which featured several speakers including Pietro Benassi, Diplomatic Advisor to the Italian Prime Minister and G20 Leading Sherpa; Elisabetta Belloni, Secretary General of the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation; and Matteo Cardinal Zuppi, Archbishop of Bologna.
