Rome, 19 March (LaPresse) – The ‘most moving page’ of the birth of the European Union ‘was written in Italy. It all began on a small island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, Ventotene’. Thus Roberto Benigni during the show ‘Il sogno’ on Rai1. ‘In 1941, while the war was raging in the world, on this remote island, in the midst of a tragedy with no limits, something incredible happened, as if a light, a flash of lightning, came on,' he said, ’while all around there were only ruins, corpses and dead, three men – Altiero Spinelli, Ernesto Rossi and Eugenio Colorni – thought of our future with a project that was both a dream and a political document. They were heroes of our history, the first, the pioneers'.
