The Italian cultural center “CAPITANO FRANCESCO DE NEGRI”
EURIDIT founded and supports in the Liceo Limamoulaye, from over 10 years, the Italian Cultural Center “CAPITANO FRANCESCO DE NEGRI”, to remember the figure and the values witnessed by Captain De Negri, killed in the massacre – historically well known – of Kefalonia.
To the vengeful and inhuman act suffered by the father, the daughter wanted to counteract an act of solidarity to remind young people of the value foundations defended by the Captain: the love of peace, for democracy and respect for the law.
Il Centro accoglie attualmente circa 50 studenti che hanno scelto la lingua italiana nel loro curriculum di studi e li sostiene nelle conoscenza della storia e della cultura italiane, comparing the values of the two countries, promoting solidarity among peoples.
