The Italian Space Agency (ASI) joins Space for Our Planet. “When we discussed how the Italian Space Agency could contribute to this exhibition”, highlights Giorgio Saccoccia, President of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) “we decided to concentrate on Art and Beauty, related to which is the protection and preservation of our invaluable cultural heritage, not only Italian heritage, but the world’s cultural heritage. Based on services provided by Space activities, we wanted to talk about Earth observation which is one of the most important and immediate returns that Space gives to our planet. All of these objectives find some synergy with the idea of peace, which is of course the ultimate goal to which you could strive working in the Space field”.
