 Italian Delegation Says Goodbye Derby
Mayor Bartone at the American Stock Exchange
Our Italian guests (Mayor Tonino Bartone,
Alderman Ferdinando Creta and Alderman Antoni Viscusi) are gone - but
definitely not forgotten! After spending a full week visiting Derby and
the surrounding area, by car, van, plane and boat, the delegation packed
their bags and headed for New York for a last bit of site seeing before
catching their return flight to Italy. They had one last chance to view
the Big Apple including a trip to Battery Park to see the Statue of
Liberty and Ellis Island. They also visited the Metropolitan Museum of
Art.
It has been an exhausting and rewarding time for the delegates, Derby
Mayor Marc Garofalo who put the whole thing together and everyone else who
helped to make the trip so successful. The trip capped a year in which a
Derby delegation traveled to Puglianello and the Italians visited Derby.
The Derby High School band and chorus took the next step in cementing
the cultural relationship when they visited Italy and Puglianello in 2003.
