Premier Paolo Gentiloni said
Friday that those in government "must have the awareness that
they must focus on healing the wounds of our country, still
evident above all in the south" despite an improvement in
macroeconomic data.
Gentiloni said "we are in a moment of transition for our
country, but we must be aware, broadening our gaze and seeing
that we are called to make important choices at this time.
He said among these "crucial" choices was "dedicating
ourselves to treating the scars from a social and economic
standpoint.
"Focus on healing the scars because the crisis was long and
in many parts of the country we have not returned to previous
levels of income".
Gentiloni was speaking at an event for Green Week in Trento
in northern Italy.
