The Europe Direct service in Venice, an information point of the European Union in the Veneto region, offered the didactic exhibition "The Founding Mothers and Fathers of the European Union", which gathers two exhibition routes: the one concerning the Founding Fathers on official documentation of the Commission European and the one concerning the founding mothers on a project of the La Sapienza University of Rome, result of the work of the researcher Maria Pia Di Nonno (with the portraits of Giulia Del Vecchio), for which the Department for European Policies of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers collaborates in national dissemination.

The exhibition is dedicated to 9 women and 11 men - visionary leaders - who inspired the creation of the European Union in which we live today:

The main theme of the exhibition is to emphasize that these men and women were convinced that people living in Europe, while remaining proud of their identity and their national history, were determined to overcome the old divisions and to build their common destiny together.
The exhibition is divided into 17 panels and combines drawings and photographs with a series of bilingual texts, written in Italian and English, in order to reach national and international audiences.

- School Director of the Stefanini High School, dott.ssa Sandra Carraro
