“Va pensiero" is a formula that somehow sums up all these concepts and hints at a song of hope that is sorely needed today. Inevitably our way of working during the past few years has changed a lot. Yet the discovery of video conferences helped us, and perhaps the lockdown we experienced, which was in some ways terrible, allowed us to delve deeper into the many insights that were continually emerging. In those weeks of lockdown, when the pandemic raged on, the work allowed us to endure the confinement and to keep alive our curiosity about these themes, which I hope will prompt reflection from visitors.
