The courage to bear witness is, therefore, assume their share of responsibility, is overcoming fears and uncertainties in the knowledge that, as a poet said, "Indian" lâ today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope '

• It was thought that a school named after Maria Grazia Cutuli, a journalist of the Corriere della Sera "killed with three other colleagues, in an ambush in Afghanistan in 2001, was a way to pay tribute to the memory of a woman who carried out his Work with honesty and passion. What was that for all the front was the frontier of her life, which was "brutally torn, given the humanitarian values in which he believed. The choice to name the journalist, the School has been an initiative of students, assessed in a competition organized by the same decision scuola.Tale grew from the need to entrench the presence of the school in the company recalling the human presence and of a professional journalist who has lived calandosi fully and actively in history and not stay on the sidelines. The choice fell on a contemporary character is important because it symbolizes the loneliness of contemporary man, his reality and its torments, which the journalist in question sought to investigate and not a distance, but witnesses as close as possible, dramas, contradictions
