A conference was held at the prestigious Protomoteca of the Campidoglio to celebrate this significant milestone and honor Srila Prabhupada, who visited Rome exactly fifty years ago and sanctioned the birth of ISKCON Italy.
The event was attended by prominent figures such as Ugo Papi, from the Mayor of Rome’s office, the Indian Ambassador to Italy, Mrs Vani Sarraju Rao, Monsignor Michael Santiago from the Roman Catholic Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue (DID), the famous Italian sociologist of religions Massimo Introvigne, Nuccia Colosimo, the lawyer who has long been assisting ISKCON Italy in the recognition procedures, and Senator Giulio Terzi of Sant’Agata.
