Mr Ambassador, ladies and gentlemen. Good afternoon.
It is a great pleasure to offer you a double welcome to this celebration.
First, I welcome you on behalf of the CENTRO STUDI AMERICANI — in whose quarters we are gathered — as Vice President taking the place today of Gianni De Gennaro, who is called away on a pressing business matter.
Second, I welcome you on behalf of the ITALIAN STUDENT LOAN FUND whose 35 years of activity we celebrate today –and which I serve as Honorary Chairman.
I have been asked to provide a short summary of the beginnings of the Fund.
