The future needs imagination. But it also needs culture.
The future needs imagination. But it also needs culture.

When we think about the future, we often picture technology, artificial intelligence and innovation. Rarely do we think of opera, music or the arts.

Yet I have become convinced that the future cannot be built solely through what we invent, but also through what makes us human.

That is why I am particularly honoured to have been appointed as an Ambassador for Rome Future Week.

Through Opera for Peace, I have had the privilege of witnessing young artists from every corner of the world transcend borders, cultures and differences through one universal language: music. It is a powerful reminder that innovation is not born only in laboratories or start-ups, but also in our ability to create meaningful human connections.
I believe in a future where technology and culture do not evolve separately, but strengthen one another. A future where leadership is shaped by empathy, creativity becomes a catalyst for progress, and cultural diplomacy helps build more open, sustainable and inclusive societies.
Innovation allows us to imagine tomorrow. Culture reminds us why that tomorrow is worth building.
I am deeply grateful to Rome Future Week for this opportunity, and I look forward to contributing to a conversation that embraces the future while remaining rooted in the values that bring us together.
Because the future is not something we wait for. It is something we create together.
