PESCARA. The council chamber of the Municipality hosted the traditional ceremony of the delivery of plaques bearing the recognition of “Historical Activity” to those commercial establishments that have gained long-term experience in the city, contributing to its economic growth. A consolidated event, organized by the Department of Productive Activities, created to give prestige to companies that have a significant history behind them.
A recognition which can be accessed through a request foreseen by a public tender, managed at a technical-administrative level by Suap. The mayor Carlo Masci, the president of the city council Marcello Antonelli, the councilor for Productive Activities Alfredo Cremonese, the councilors Maria Luigia Montopolino and Zaira Zamparelli attended and delivered the owners of the activities, 21 in total. In the room, in addition to the owners of the chosen companies, also representatives of the trade associations.
The ceremony involved commercial firms and companies with a minimum length of activity ranging from a minimum of 40 years up to 67. Life stories, of passing the baton between generations, in some these are companies started by grandparents and run today from grandchildren. And in fact there were moments of emotion and some tears. In the room the president of Confcommercio Pescara Riccardo Padovano and the director of Confartigianato Fabrizio Vianale.
The awards went to:
