Grande partecipazione a Dallas per celebrare l’80° Anniversario della Repubblica Italiana 🇮🇹

Dallas ha reso omaggio all’Italia e ai valori fondanti della Repubblica in occasione delle celebrazioni per l’80° Anniversario della nascita della Repubblica Italiana.

L’evento, organizzato dal Rappresentante del CGIE per gli Stati Uniti Vincenzo Arcobelli, e dal Corrispondente Consolare di Dallas Richard Gussoni, ha riunito numerosi esponenti della comunità italiana e italo-americana del Texas in una serata dedicata alla cultura, alle tradizioni e all’identità italiana.

La ricorrenza ha rappresentato anche un’importante occasione per il Console Generale d’Italia a Houston Mauro Lorenzini, di salutare la comunità italiana di Dallas in vista della conclusione del suo mandato.

Nel suo intervento, il Console Generale ha ringraziato la comunità italiana dell’area di Dallas per il costante sostegno e la preziosa collaborazione con le istituzioni italiane dimostrati nel corso degli anni.

Un momento significativo che ha confermato la vitalità e la forte presenza della comunità italiana in Texas, nel segno dei valori della Repubblica.
