President Sergio Mattarella on
Monday complained that society was beset by too much violent
language, especially on the Internet, as he received Italian
cinema figures before the David di Donatello awards. The
president spoke of an excess of verbal violence that "moves
increasingly quickly on the web and in our human relations". He
called on the cinema world to "help us to reflect, to overcome
barriers and prejudices, to discover the value of diversity,"
and said dialogue might by tough but is always worth the effort,
ahead of the Italian equivalent of the Oscars.
