The values of diversity and inclusion are embodied by the twenty-seven member countries of the European Union. As a global crossroads of creativity, commerce, and culture, Europe stands out as a region that celebrates both the individual’s rights and the perfectibility of human institutions. For decades, Europe’s commitment to liberty and self-expression has existed alongside a deeply-held commitment to crafting a more just society through democratic means.
There are many important cultural cross-roads in Italy, locations which have blossomed over the centuries into great cities where diverse currents of thought, commerce and tradition converge. Rome, Venice, Florence, Ravenna, Sorrento, Syracuse: each of these communities can boast its own proud history. But few cities in all of Europe can claim both deep historical significance and vital contemporary relevance in so many domains as Milan.
