Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos extolled the work of Mario Vitti, Italian author, translator, and educator specializing in Modern Greek literature, during an event in his honour at the Benaki museum on Friday, saying Vitti is a leading defender of freedom in the field of literary creation.
“We must not forget, especially we Greeks, that Mario Vitti is the leading Hellenist today internationally. And this is a reality that nobody can deny. There is no exaggeration in what I am saying,” he said in his speech.
“If we wanted to find a ‘motto’ for Mario Vitti’s work, this would boil down to that he is a leading advocate of freedom in the field of literary creation. He defends freedom, freedom of the author, both in terms of inception and expression. And this is something we need very much today, not only here in Greece, but everywhere,” he added.
