New 'ambassadors' of the small towns of Rome

Sono state consegnate a Palazzo Valentini il 7 luglio, le pergamene, del Premio Town Ambassador, per chiedere la  prima fase del Progetto con Roma Città Metropolitana. Tra i premiati, dai Sindaci coinvolti nel progetto, persone che sono emigrate e che con la lontananza hanno coltivato ancora di più un amore incondizionato verso il luogo di appartenenza.

If we're good, Gerano takes us to South Africa, Canada and America. We are looking for Town Ambassador candidates for the Aniene Valley in the Rome Metropolitan Area project and we have arrived in this small village that can be defined as a spot in the absolute green of nature.

Roiate

Roiate is a small but charming village between the Sacco valley and the Aniene valley and when I was little and I crossed it to go skiing in Campo Staffi it always reminded me of the nativity scene that my mother made under the tree. Its mayor Antonio Proietti was among the first to join the Town Ambassador project...

I arrive in Anticoli Corrado at lunchtime, with the sun illuminating the whole square and you just want something fresh. It is the last of the villages of the day in my tour in search of Town Ambassadors of the Aniene Valley and I must confess that I didn't have too many expectations, but what I found left me speechless.

My journey in search of the Town Ambassadors of the province of Rome continues in the Aniene Valley, this time the stop is Licenza, a small village with a great history and wonder which, thanks to the proactivity of its Administration and the Mayor Ilaria Passacantilli, has made us discover one, but two Town Ambassador Awards!

I arrive in Percile with the sun and shortly after a sudden downpour begins which forces me to seek shelter. I chat with some women who, like me, have been surprised by the bad weather and one takes a selfie because I tell them that I have come to write an article.

I arrive early in Marano Equo on a sunny Saturday morning and, to my surprise, in the main square I find three bars a short distance from each other. I really didn't know what to choose, but a bar had all the tables in the sun and so I choose Bar La Maina, the one inside the square with the tables under the trees.
