Rome, Wednesday, January 9, 2013
A special issue totally dedicated to Nelson Mandela. This is what Nigrizia, the monthly magazine of the Comboni Missionaries, will present on January 25 at 5:00PM in Rome, in the Pietro da Cortona hall (Musei Capitolini – Piazza del Campidoglio).

The dream becomes history

Nelson Mandela

The issue which Nigrizia offers does not intend to be a celebration or even a simple homage. It intends to follow the life of a man who has marked the beginning of the new South Africa.

Throughout the 80 pages of the special issue, his stance as a fighter, a politician, a man of peace, an example for the new generations will be analyzed from various points of view.

Mandela has been involved in politics. He has been involved in good politics for most of his 94 years. And he has something to teach to all of us.

The Hon. Walter Veltroni;
