Memory allows us to preserve and rediscover memories of past events as needed, which is why, since ancient times, it has been celebrated as one of the most extraordinary human abilities because it is the only one capable of making men and events immortal.
Memory preserves both ideas and images, even the saddest and most tragic ones, and allows us to create a bridge between past, present and future.
In a period like this, it is even more important to remember what happened in order to overcome the difficulties.
Once again, culture becomes a pillar to cling to in order to start again and to return to hope.
