Messina, Italy - March 2024 - Taking its cue from the recent handbook by Fr Giovanni Russo entitled “Bioethics in Dialogue: Foundations and Texts”, an event was organised with the State University of Messina, involving the S. Tommaso Theological Institute, attached to the Pontifical Salesian University in Rome, the Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti, the University Centre for Bioethics Studies of the State University, and the Sicilian section of the Italian Institute of Bioethics. The book by Fr Russo, director of the S. Tommaso Theological Institute (ITST) and the Higher School of Specialisation in Bioethics and Sexology, combined with the UPS, has seen two editions in just a few months and has been published by the ITST publisher. The event, which took place on 15 March 2024 in the premises of the prestigious Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti, the oldest academy of sciences in Sicily (1729), was attended by five leading professors from the State University, in addition to the academic heads of the institutions involved:  Emeritus Prof. Antonio Metro, of Institutions of Roman Law, Prof. Marianna Gensabella Furnari, former Professor of Bioethics and member of the National Bioethics Committee, Emeritus Prof. Francesco Trimarchi, of Endocrinology and Director of the Class of Medico-Biological Sciences of the Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti, Prof. Maria Laura Giacobello, Associate Professor of Bioethics and the University's Deputy Vice-Rector, Prof. Giuseppe Giordano. Finally, Fr Russo spoke, dwelling on the idea of a dialogical and open Bioethics which gives voice to the various positions, a voice that listens without raise fences, meeting in a synodal way without customs or duties to be paid, but ready to care and help like the Good Samaritan.
