“There are many entrepreneurs and personalities from the entertainment world who responded to this first appeal for solidarity charity event in support of such an important and sacred place as the Abbey of San Paolo Fuori le Mura. We hope that this evening, as well as an opportunity to raise funds for a noble cause, will also be an opportunity to find friends and supporters with whom to share a path of support for those cultural and solidarity projects that the Abbey intends to offer its contribution and support also in the future”. Thus HE Dom Donato Ogliari, Abbot of the Abbey of San Paolo Fuori le Mura.
