Dialogue and Memory: Embassy of Nicaragua welcomes university students
Rome, Nov. 6, 2025-The Embassy of the Republic of Nicaragua in Italy hosted a meeting of great symbolic and cultural value with a delegation of young university students, accompanied by Welcome Association Italy (WAI) and journalist and writer Maddalena Celano.
A meeting to unite diplomacy, memory and the younger generation
The meeting, sponsored by H.E. Monica Robelo, Nicaragua’s Ambassador to Italy, was held on the occasion of the commemoration of Comandante Carlos Fonseca Amador, founder and historical leader of the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN), who fell Nov. 7 in the struggle for freedom and dignity of the Nicaraguan people.
The initiative provided a valuable opportunity to give continuity to the dialogue between diplomacy and students, which originated at the conference “Women and Diplomacy: Voices from the World,” organized by Welcome Association Italy at LUMSA University last October.
