Between science and culture, a new hope, but without fear. (Tra scienza e cultura, una nuova speranza, ma senza paura.)

I would point out that imagining life in 2040 is not very easy. But this can change over these years both the relationship that nations have with scientific progress and their local cultural sources, such as monuments, museums and so on. In many cases, these two aspects of a nation and, by narrowing the scope, of a society or community, are not valued as it should be, since in my view they are two complementary aspects: the first concerns technologies, innovation, investing its future in gradual progress also of human civilisation; the second is the centuries-old contribution of the wider artistic traditions, from painting to seventh art through books and music. I therefore believe that this development is needed on the basis of a substantial financial base and collective action by all, as culture and science go hand in hand. Valorising places of cultural interest and local artistic heritage and encouraging people to take a scientific path from school education onwards, so as to direct many people to these very broad fields of knowledge, is of paramount importance, as it develops various transversal skills and advances in the development of their own critical thinking. To ensure that we do not remain stuck to the metaphoric iron ball that keeps us anchored to the ground of ignorance and neglect.

Un posto in cui restare

In 2040 I would like the valley train to be frequent, even if only every two hours, and for on-call transport to cover the smaller villages, so that a 16-year-old boy can go to play sports or visit friends without the family having to organize for weeks. I would like fiber in every fraction, not as a promise but as a normal thing, because working from home here should be the obvious choice, not an exception to explain. I also wish the school wouldn't close. Classes with five children are a problem for those who organize the numbers, but for those who attend them they are a fortune: You learn differently, with the older ones helping the little ones and with the teachers who know each family. I imagine a mountain school that works with schools in other countries, with online twinning and real exchanges, and where Italian, German and English are spoken well, because languages are really needed here. And I wish young people had a way to do business without leaving. A cooperative that manages the forest and sells its wood in a sustainable way, a hostel run by those who grew up in the valley, a laboratory for the production of cheese or beer with the local raw material. Not everyone will have to become an entrepreneur, but those who want to try should find money, advice and someone to tell them they can do it. I don't know if that's gonna happen. But I know the question is not how to get young people back, but how to make sure they don't need to leave to have a full life. In 2040 I hope the answer is: There are things to do here, there are people to do them with, and someone will one day want to stay.
