A tie that continues to develop and grow stronger with the work and research of many young researchers in the fields of science and humanities. This is the bond between Italy and the United States which was celebrated during the annual event of ISSNAF, the foundation that brings together thousands of Italian scientists and academics working in laboratories, universities and research centers in North America.

The event was held on December 9, 2021, in a virtual format, in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Washington, and under the High Patronage of the President of the Republic. Ambassador Mariangela Zappia opened the proceedings, and was followed by a video message by the Italian Minister of University and Research, Maria Cristina Messa.
