At the end of January, the Italian Cultural Institute of Montreal inaugurated with the young Italian chemist Andrea Paolella, a researcher at the Institute of Recherche Energie Québec (IREQ) of Hydro-Québec, the series of “The Travelling Genius: Italian art, humanities, science … in the world”. Since February, a large number of young Italians have already given and will give voice to their knowledge: science, art, letters, law…. thus generating a spirit of community, of sharing and cultural pride that merges day after day in a wonderful diversity of human stories.
