Disarming Peace: Historical Reflections for Peace in Europe

The conference “Disarming Peace: Historical Reflections for Peace in Europe”, scheduled for December 6, 2025, at the Basilica of the SS. Annunziata in Florence, stems from Pope Leo XIV’s call to “disarm words” and promote a form of communication that builds peace. The initiative, organized by the Rosario Livatino Study Center and the University of Florence with the participation of the Leo XIV Study Center, offers an ethical, legal, and historical exploration inspired by La Pira’s thought and by Article 11 of the Italian Constitution, inviting reflection on language and international relations in a Europe marked by conflict.
