abstract: The issue of cultural diversity is to be looked at today with eyes turned towards tomorrow, with full awareness of the challenges it poses but also of the opportunities it offers for its deeper implications, destined to mature over the years and to last a long time, impacting the future of new generations. The problematic nature of such issue and its stakes explain the title of this study which aims, on one hand, to indicate as a goal to be achieved that based on the idea of countries (nations) and their citizens ‘united in diversity’, but with the addition, on the other, of the dilemma in terms of the challenge that follows: whether this objective represents only a utopia or, instead, can came true in a common destiny, however difficult it may be to achieve and preserve.
