HELPING ITALIANS IN NEED: METHODS, RESULTS, SURPRISES

Meeting with Minister Plenipotentiary Nicola Minasi, Head of the Crisis Unit of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI). Introduced by Gianluca Brusco, Head of the Emergency Unit, MAECI

Intervening to protect Italians in situations of major international emergencies—ranging from wars to evacuations, from natural disasters to kidnappings and pandemics—requires preparation, but also the courage to admit how little we know about the future. How does the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs organize itself to intervene? What are the secrets and experiences gained by the Crisis Unit? A conversation to understand that, even in the desert of the unknown, it is possible to find traces that point the way out.
