ROME – The director of the Vatican Museums, Barbara Jatta, has expressed concern for Ukraine’s artistic heritage.
“I am in contact with Ukrainian colleagues and I am concerned for artwork in that country, as we are for the artistic heritage in all situations of conflict and natural calam- ities,” she said. “Honestly, however, I am much more concerned for people right now.”
The director was speaking at the preview of the show “La Passione. Arte italiana del ‘900 dai Musei Vaticani. Da Manzù a Gattuso, da Casorati a Carrà.” (Passion. Italian art of the 1900s from the Vatican Museums. From Manzù to Gattuso, from Casorati to Carrà.)
“The only Ukrainian art we have at
the Vatican Museums is an icon donated to John Paul II during his visit to the country”, sheadded. “Itisanancienticon,extremely ruined, which is very emblematic of the suffering endured by this population at
the moment.”

ROME – Aurelio Regina, the Energy Delegate for Italian industrial confederation Confindustria, has said that the war in Ukraine has likely to speed up moves to make the energy sector more sustainable during an event at Expo 2020 in Dubai.
"This war will probably accelerate the energy
transition," Regina told an event titled "The Global Need to Save Energy" organized by the Italian Trade Agency at the Italy Pavilion.
"Now everyone is convinced that we must be more autonomous and less dependent on Russian supplies, and not just those ones,” Reginasaid.“Let'snotforgetthatwehada similar situation with the Libya crisis. We must project ourselves towards the future and we must plan a new way of producing and consuming energy.
"If Italian consumers want to help Ukraine, they should probably save energy because, if we save the billions of (cubic meters) of gas that we take from Russia, we will probably make a big contribution for ourfriendsinUkraine.Itisimportanttouse new technologies and it is also important for industry to change the productive process. But as consumers we can also make a contribution by reducing consumption.”
