Inner-Happiness
Mario Marazziti, born in Rome in 1952, has dedicated over fifty years to building a more humane world, weaving together the power of communication, legislative commitment, and on-the-ground humanitarian action.
As the long-standing spokesperson for the Community of Sant’Egidio since its inception, Marazziti serves as a vital bridge between cultural reflection and social intervention in support of the most vulnerable.
An experienced journalist and author of 12 books, he has analyzed the dynamics of contemporary society as a columnist for Italy’s leading publications, including Corriere della Sera, Avvenire, Famiglia Cristiana, and the Huffington Post. His writing has always been more than mere reporting; it is a civic tool used to promote interreligious dialogue and a culture of peace.
In works such as La Grande Occasione (The Great Opportunity) and Porte Aperte (Open Doors), he offers a profound vision of modern societal challenges and the transformative potential of solidarity.
From 2013 to 2018, he placed his expertise at the service of the Italian Parliament, holding high-level institutional roles:
His impact extends far beyond national borders. Representing the Italian Parliament and the Community of Sant’Egidio, he has served in missions at the United Nations and in critical conflict zones, including the Holy Land, Iraq, Ukraine, and the Maghreb.
As a co-founder of the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty, Marazziti is today a leading proponent of Humanitarian Corridors, an internationally recognized model for the safe and legal reception of refugees.
His fifty-year commitment to humanization, mediation, and reconciliation between peoples is the cornerstone of his contribution to Inner Happiness, championing a vision of fulfillment that begins with the inviolable dignity of every human being.
