"He was not only a great politician, but a great man, always and everywhere." Petr Pithart, President of the Senate Josef Lux was born in 1956 in Ústí nad Orlicí (Eastern Bohemia). He studied agronomy in Brno and worked in this field until 1990.

The politician, for him, was the one who knows how to look afar, who knows how to "dream" and who knows how to work to give shape to these dreams. (from the story of his daughter Clara) Domenico Fioravanti was born in Camerata Nuova on 13 June 1938. He was marshal of the Finance police corps and a passionate political leader in Trent.

He knew how to live fully and he transmitted to many his passion for unity by giving value to every moment of daily life.  Chiara Lubich  Domenico Mangano (1938-2001): committed citizen, combactive politician, authentic Christian, decides to dedicate himself to building "fragments of reciprocity", of sharing and dialogue, in the society in which he lived.

One of the great figures in the italian context, in the 20th century. Member of the Constituent Assembly and of the Chamber of Deputies until 1953, Giordani undertook his political commitment alongside Luigi Sturzo. His opposition to Fascism, which he pursued with insistence, was particularly significant.
