OPEN LETTER

Friday, May 6, 2011 could become a historic date for Turin, in what has been "invaded peacefully" at least one hundred thousand feathers of hens, but an eagle. Yes, because the feathers were those of valiant Alpini and their traditions. Three days guests in our city for the National Gathering, it's been 26 years and there they reappear. Alongside the rally, other events, just to mention one of the TOUR ITALY all of which have merged with it. The machine with its municipal workers has stood up well to the invasion of 500,000 people saw the event. Ten hours of endless parade through the streets of downtown, wonderful event in all respects, but as always there is the flip side, there will be factions happy and unhappy, this can not be anything to stop it, while hopes that the fact the reception by the people of Turin has been decent in respect of the "black pen on the hat" that our leading mountain!
A special praise is due to the Santa Maria Group Arabona because they have behaved so fantastic in terms of aggregation in relation to persons passing by in their camp (located near the Faculty of Architecture, for us only the Castello del Valentino Turin) in a special way those two funny guys and Giulio Del Rosario Napoleon Maurizio that unlike other stations, they have not closed the chosen area, even with extreme nonchalance did their utmost to provide supplies to passersby. A group of mountaineers that Abruzzo was enough throughout a simple answer to be in harmony with the party! That's the spirit that characterizes the Alpine Corps. Between skewers and a glass of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, the hours passed in harmony and to end the wonderful evening honored us with his pass in front of us and stopping just enough a wonderful "jeep with the fur" irreplaceable "comrades" Alpini. All this at the end of the festival, with the regret in each of their end of the rally, bring it in with sadness to the house until the next meeting! Replicated next year in Bolzano.
