1967 - 1980 Helsinki and the CSCE In 1969 Luigi Vittorio was transferred to Rome, where he was assigned to the Directorate General of Political Affairs and was in charge of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE). Preparation for the CSCE involves intensive activity and frequent missions abroad, including with Ambassador Roberto Ducci. From the beginning of the conference in November 1972, this participation requires long stays in Helsinki first and then in Geneva between 1972 and 1975 as Deputy Head of the Italian Delegation. Years of intense work with numerous trips that forced him away from his family even for long periods. This work would flow into the volume “Testimonies of a Negotiation,” to this day still considered one of the main reference texts on the negotiations at the Helsinki Conference. Between 1975 and 1977 Luigi Vittorio accepted the post of Deputy Director General for Cultural Relations together with Ambassador Vittorio Cordero di Montezemolo, where he dealt with regulations in the educational and academic spheres and was engaged in a number of missions abroad including, significant for him, those in the German Democratic Republic and Canton Ticino. He was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary Second Class on December 22, 1972 and Minister Plenipotentiary First Class on June 3, 1977. At the suggestion of then Minister Boris Biancheri Chiappori, Secretary General Raimondo Manzini assigned him the General Directorate of Personnel. Luigi Vittorio filled his role with great determination even with respect to the union control then prevailing. His work is considered energetic and such that it left a mark: his determination and authority is recognized, thanks to which he obtained wide decision-making autonomy. From 1978 to 1982, Luigi Vittorio was appointed chairman of the First Commission of the Higher Council of Public Administration. In the meantime from the end of 1977 he took up a teaching position in Eastern European Political Institutions at the Oriental Institute in Naples, at the initiative of then Dean Luigi Ferrari Bravo and with the consent of Prof. Rita Di Leo. He held regular lectures despite commuting between Rome and Naples until he regretfully had to resign in 1983 due to incompatibility with Civil Service regulations.

Logo The Logo of this Association was created by Chiara Mensa , great-granddaughter of Luigi Vittorio Ferraris and daughter of Marina Petteruti Romano, one of the Founding Members and granddaughter of the Ambassador. The acquaintance between Chiara and Luigi Vittorio, albeit brief for reasons of age, shines through in the creation of a Logo that reflects in synthesis Luigi Vittorio's love of books, read and written, and his passion for Diplomacy to which the Ambassador sought to bring young students of all backgrounds closer, in respect and defense of human rights and collaboration among peoples. The supporting structure of the Logo encloses the three letters LVF of the Ambassador's name, and develops vertically and horizontally. Vertically with the interplay of the empty and full of the characters L and V, which give a glimpse into the L the shaft of a fountain pen, which is drawn in Vittorio's V. Pair of these two vertical letters contrasted with Ferraris's horizontally unfolding F to represent the openness to others manifested by the Ambassador in his character always open to human relations. Thus we have the vertical of diplomacy supporting the horizontal of society. That is, the strength of diplomatic action, expressed through treaties and written books of which the Ambassador has often been the author and co-author, in the cooperation acting at the international level to achieve good among Peoples. The round badge inscribing the Logo is surrounded by the inscription “Association of Friends of Luigi Vittorio Ferraris,” to represent a globe, as an expression of the international character of the thought and work carried out by the Professor and so dear to him. Finally, the colors red and white to recall the family banner kept in the country villa in Vaccarile in the Marche region of Italy. Chiara Mensa Great-granddaughter of the Ambassador Luigi Vittorio Ferraris and daughter of Marina Petteruti Romano Born in Rome, she received a five-year single-cycle degree “EU Architecture” (B. arch equivalent) from the University of Rome “ La Sapienza” in 2012.

Pizza and Politics Defamation and misinformation in U.S. presidential campaigns Monday, 18 November, 2024 Caffè delle Esposizioni - Rome On November 18, 2024, the Hanns Seidel Foundation and the Friends of Luigi Vittorio Ferraris Association, with the collaboration of the Festival of Diplomacy, organized a meeting with Prof. Luca Mencacci entitled “Beyond the Election Verdict: Dirty Politics and the Dynamics of Political Communication.” Prof. Mencacci, starting with the book Dirty Politics (2024, Rubbettino), guided us through an in-depth analysis of the dynamics of political communication that have influenced all U.S. election campaigns.

Acanto Project Note dal mondo, radici in armonia The Coraggio! project encompasses a series of mentoring and networking meetings reserved for women, promoted by the Associazione Amici di Luigi Vittorio Ferraris in collaboration with the Hanns Seidel Italia/Vatican Foundation. This project includes a series of meetings focused on cross-cutting themes of politics, economics, cooperation and society, involving a virtuous network of women ready to constructively confront and support each other. Courage! was created with the intention of creating synergy and awareness among women who, despite challenges, have managed to carve out a meaningful space for themselves in society. These women represent the authentic value of women's identity and the potential it brings. As Ambassador Luigi Vittorio Ferraris emphasized, it is crucial to put the focus on the person at the center, a principle that guides us in our work. We want awareness of the value of women not to remain an isolated fact, but to radiate into society as a whole, so that gender distinction becomes secondary to the person. We cannot achieve this goal without women themselves gaining courage and awareness of their own strength. It is essential to overcome an anachronistic view, and to make clear the invaluable contribution that the female component makes to the collective well-being. Together, we can build a future in which human value is recognized beyond gender, promoting a more just and inclusive society. The project aims to culminate in final meetings in which women and men will be free to move and engage with each other in the audience regardless of the gender of those present. We want to land on a space where every voice can be heard by promoting open and constructive dialogue.
