On 30 April, the Bavarian Minister of the Interior, Joachim Herrmann, gave the keynote speech at the 36th Foundation Festival of the Catholic Academic Association Capitolina in Rome in the library of the Anima. He made special mention of the Görres Society and its Roman Institute, as his father Johannes Herrmann, a law professor in Erlangen, was Secretary General of the Görres Society during the years from 1967 to 1979. At the same event, Stefan Heid received the Capitolina ribbon of honour from the philistine senior Franco Reale.
