The mayor of Grosseto this morning met in the Town Hall with the logistics commander of the Army, Army Corps General Mauro D’Ubaldi, who went to Tuscany on an institutional visit to his dependent bodies, including the Military Veterinary Centre. During the meeting, the mayor and the commander had the opportunity to underline and reaffirm the close and fruitful collaboration between the Municipality and Cemivet, a relationship destined to last, unchanged, into the future. During the meeting, numerous topics of common interest were addressed, including the development of the project called “Enhancement of the equestrian sector of the armed force”, coordinated by the Army General Staff, with the aim of rationalizing the breeding phase of the force’s horses armed. In the near future, this project will be entrusted to the Army Cavalry School, the institution responsible for the traditions and organization of the equestrian component, at the conclusion of a process started a few years ago. This plan, which envisages concentrating the aforementioned activities in the headquarters of the Military Riding Center of Montelibretti, should not be considered in any way to the detriment of the Military Veterinary Center of Grosseto, which the General Staff identifies as an active part of the ongoing process. The mayor received reassurances on how there is currently no plan to organically weaken the Centre, as it will continue to be a point of contact for the military dog world and to establish an equestrian component, the size and type of which, currently under study, will be put into place with that of the Montelibretti Military Equestrian Center. Furthermore, the logistics commander foreshadowed its possible strengthening in the role of national military center for hippotherapy, an activity already underway in Grosseto, also thanks to the precious collaboration of the Red Cross. Counting on the extraordinary relationship with the Grosseto community, the logistics commander commissioned a specific study from the Cemivet commander to make this objective of extraordinary moral importance possible and sustainable.
