About IGCA

IGCA 2023 in short

For the Italian edition of the IGCA 2023 International Congress we took inspiration from the title of the homonymous film by Paolo Sorrentino, winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards in 2014. Isn’t it true that, when you think about Italy you immediately think about beauty? It is a unique beauty not only made of art, culture or breathtaking landscapes but also characterized by tech companies, innovation and creativity… without forgetting the beauty and quality of our food! Let yourself be surprised: come discover this beauty! Nothing will ever be the same again.

“And how could you not love Italy? I believe that every human being has 2 Homelands: the first and closest one is the Motherland, the other is Italy”

Henryk Sienkiewicz

“Italy Is To Be Considered The First Country In The World Where Culture Was Born Earlier Than The Nation Itself. There Is No Other Place On Earth”

Roberto Benigni

The Beautiful regions in Italy
