The Path We Must Take Must Be Beautiful: Reclaiming Italy’s Legacy:
The Etruscans, our ancient predecessors, understood this well. They didn’t strive for success; they aimed for hard work, knowing that the only true path to success is through dedicated effort. They built roads, bridges, homes, and valleys—laying down the foundations that would last for centuries. In their pursuit of excellence, they demonstrated that beauty lies not only in the final result but in the process, in the labour, and in the sweat poured into the land.
Today, as we navigate through the complexities of modern society, we must reconnect with this ancient wisdom. The path we take must be beautiful, not just in its outcome but in the manner in which we pursue it. It’s time to reclaim Italy’s legacy by embracing the values that made our forefathers great.
In her highly anticipated “Remember” news magazine, Serwaa Amihere, the renowned TV presenter, personality, and event host, will delve into a topic that has often been overlooked in mainstream journalism: the importance of restoring our cultural identity through dedicated effort and hard work.

Through in-depth analysis and engaging discussions, Serwaa will take Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on a journey through history, highlighting how the forgotten paths of the past can illuminate the way forward for Italy, especially as she leads as the nation’s first female prime minister.

Introduction:
In a compelling dialogue, renowned journalist Serwaa Amihere sits down with Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to discuss her vision for Italy’s future. The conversation delves into the Prime Minister’s call for a renewed dedication to Italy’s cultural and historical roots, drawing on the legacy of the Etruscans and Romans. The discussion explores the moral and global significance of preserving cultural heritage and contrasts Italy’s approach with the challenges faced in other parts of the world, particularly Africa.
Serwaa Amihere: Before the small village of Rome became “Rome” with a capital “R,” a brilliant civilization once controlled almost the entire peninsula we now call Italy. This civilization was the Etruscans, whose achievements set the stage not only for the development of ancient Roman art and culture but also for the Italian Renaissance.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: Though the Etruscans may not be widely recognized today, they were the first “superpower” of the Western Mediterranean, who, alongside the Greeks, developed the earliest true cities in Europe. The most important modern cities, including Florence, Pisa, and Siena, were first established by the Etruscans and have been continuously inhabited since.
It is particularly ironic that the Etruscans were responsible for teaching the Romans the alphabet and for spreading literacy throughout the Italian peninsula. Yet, the importance of their contributions is often overlooked.
We must not continue to make mistakes that involve neglecting our identity by failing to preserve the rich legacy that has been handed down to us. That is why I have made it my mission to say: “I Will Give Italy Her True Identity: A Call for Renewed Dedication.“
Dialogue:
Serwaa Amihere : Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, it’s a pleasure to speak with you today. Your tenure as Italy’s first female prime minister marks a pivotal moment for the nation, especially with your emphasis on reconnecting with Italy’s rich historical roots. Let’s begin with your vision encapsulated in the statement, “I Will Give Italy Her True Identity: A Call for Renewed Dedication.” What does this mean for Italy in today’s world?
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni:
Thank you, Serwaa. My vision for Italy is deeply rooted in our history. When I speak of giving Italy her true identity, I’m calling for a renewed dedication to the values and achievements of our ancestors, particularly the Etruscans and Romans.
These cultures laid the foundations of what we now know as Western civilization, and their legacy is one of resilience, innovation, and cultural richness. In today’s modern world, it’s crucial that we reconnect with these roots, not just to honour our past, but to guide our future. The path we take must be beautiful—meaning it must balance progress with preservation, ensuring that our development is sustainable and culturally enriching.*
Serwaa Amihere : Your call for a beautiful path forward resonates with many, especially when we look at how this approach could inspire a cultural revival and economic revitalization in Italy. You’ve mentioned the importance of integrating the study of ancient cultures like the Etruscans into education and using their urban planning models for modern development. Could you elaborate on how your policies will make this vision a reality?
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni : Absolutely, Serwaa. By deepening our focus on education, we can instil a renewed appreciation for Italy’s ancient heritage. This means integrating the history and contributions of the Etruscans and Romans more comprehensively into our national curriculum. Additionally, by preserving and promoting archaeological sites—much like we do with Roman ruins—we can boost cultural tourism, which is a vital part of our economy. Urban development inspired by ancient models allows us to create modern infrastructure that respects our historical landscapes. This is not just about looking to the past, but about using it as a foundation to build a future that honors our identity and enhances our country’s beauty and sustainability.
Serwaa Amihere : In Africa, however, the situation is quite different. The vastness of the continent has, unfortunately, led to a mentality among some leaders where the well-being of citizens is often disregarded. The land is exploited for resources like gold, lithium, and diamonds, with little regard for the people who live there. It’s as if they see Africa as nothing more than a land of wild animals, overlooking the human lives connected to the land. What’s your perspective on this, considering your emphasis on cultural preservation?
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni : Serwaa, you’ve touched on a critical issue. True leadership, in my view, involves not just economic growth, but the preservation of cultural and natural environments. This responsibility transcends borders. In Italy, we strive to respect both the land and the people, ensuring that our progress is inclusive and sustainable. Every nation, whether in Europe, Africa, or elsewhere, must find a balance between resource utilisation and heritage preservation. My hope is that our approach in Italy can serve as an inspiration, showing that it’s possible to advance economically while still protecting and honouring the cultural and environmental wealth that defines our identity.
Serwaa Amihere : Your commitment to inspiring renewed dedication has sparked global interest, particularly with the recognition that Italians, like citizens in Africa and Europe, are not merely subjects of history but human beings with rich cultural legacies. This acknowledgment has sent shockwaves around the world. How do you respond to this global recognition of Italy’s efforts?
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni : Serwaa, this recognition is both humbling and encouraging. The idea of inspiring renewed dedication is deeply connected to recognizing our shared humanity. Italians, like all people, are more than the sum of their historical achievements—they are individuals with dreams, dignity, and a profound connection to their culture. By embracing our true identity and dedicating ourselves to a path that is beautiful and just, we can contribute to a global movement that respects and values every person, every culture. This is not just about Italy—it’s about fostering a world where cultural heritage and human dignity are universally respected and preserved.
Serwaa Amihere : When you mention that true leadership involves not just economic growth but also the preservation of cultural and natural environments, it implies a responsibility that goes beyond national borders. In Italy, you emphasise respecting both the land and its people to ensure progress is inclusive and sustainable. Does this approach mean that you consider population density and future needs in your development plans? Specifically, do you ensure that land use is managed carefully to build homes for current citizens while planning for future generations, rather than selling off all available land?
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni : Absolutely, Serwaa. Effective leadership requires a holistic approach to development that balances immediate needs with long-term sustainability. In Italy, we carefully consider population density and future growth when planning our urban and rural development. We aim to manage land use in a way that meets the housing needs of current residents while preserving areas for future generations.
This means implementing zoning regulations that prevent overdevelopment and protect natural landscapes. We also prioritise sustainable practices in land management, ensuring that new construction is integrated thoughtfully into existing communities without compromising the environment. By planning carefully and considering the needs of both current and future populations, we can create a more balanced and enduring approach to development that respects our cultural heritage and natural resources.
Serwaa Amihere : There’s no doubt that your vision for Italy’s renewed dedication has become a significant focal point in the global movement towards protecting citizens and preserving natural resources and the environment. This commitment not only highlights the importance of cultural and environmental stewardship in this century but also sets a precedent for future generations. How do you see this approach influencing global efforts in sustainable development and cultural preservation?
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni : Thank you, Serwaa. I believe that Italy’s commitment can indeed serve as an influential example for global efforts in sustainable development and cultural preservation. By demonstrating that it’s possible to balance progress with respect for heritage and the environment, we hope to inspire other nations to adopt similar approaches. Our goal is to show that economic development and environmental stewardship are not mutually exclusive, but can work together to create a more sustainable and equitable world.
This approach encourages countries to view their cultural and natural resources as integral to their identity and long-term prosperity. As we move forward, I hope that Italy’s example will contribute to a broader international dialogue about sustainable development and inspire collective action to address global challenges while preserving our shared heritage for future generations.*
Serwaa Amihere : Is this the reason behind your call, “I Will Give Italy Her True Identity: A Call for Renewed Dedication,” and the belief that “The Path We Must Take Must Be Beautiful: Reclaiming Italy’s Legacy”? Does this vision encapsulate your commitment to ensuring that Italy’s development respects and integrates its cultural and environmental heritage while setting a standard for sustainable progress?
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni : Exactly, Serwaa. The call to give Italy its true identity and to reclaim our legacy is deeply intertwined with our commitment to sustainable and culturally respectful development. By emphasising that the path we take must be beautiful, I am underscoring the importance of integrating our historical and environmental values into our modern progress.
This vision reflects our dedication to ensuring that Italy’s growth does not come at the expense of our heritage or natural resources. It’s about creating a future that honours our past while addressing contemporary needs and challenges. By setting this standard, we aim to inspire a broader global commitment to balancing development with preservation, ultimately leading to a more harmonious and sustainable world.
Serwaa Amihere : Prime Minister Meloni, your words are truly inspiring. As we conclude, what final message would you like to share with our global audience about the significance of this journey Italy is embarking on?
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni : Thank you, Serwaa. My final message is this: In reconnecting with our past, we find the strength and wisdom to build a future that is both beautiful and enduring. This is a journey not just for Italy, but for every nation that values its heritage and seeks to progress without losing sight of its identity. I invite the world to join us in this endeavour, to create a global community that honours its history, protects its cultures, and strives for a future where humanity and nature coexist in harmony.
TSASI : This dialogue reflects the importance of cultural preservation, sustainable development, and the moral responsibility of leadership in shaping a better future for Italy and the world.
