We are aware that the Adriatic States constitute a fundamental relational system inscribed in the distant Hellenic roots of the idea of ​​Europe, which must find a new expression in the current process of building the European Union.

We are therefore grateful for this visit, promoted by the Honorable D'Alfonso whom we thank for the interest shown in our city and we hope it will become the beginning of a lasting bond between countries and institutions that want to cultivate the seed of peace, hope in future and commitment to the common good. An intent that we have put down in black and white on a certificate of friendship that we will deliver to him tomorrow together with a memory of Chieti".
