Ambassadors from all over the world came to Sophialaan, one of the most beautiful streets in town, to honor the Italian National Day on a sunny and warm afternoon. Visitors from the Italian business community, NGOs, and other international organizations enjoyed sharing each other’s company in a lively Italian ambiance.
The most relevant elements of the Italian culture were present, notably the art, music, food, and wines, but most importantly the joy and the passion possessed by every Italian man, woman, and child.
