ROME, JUNE 12 – A bill for the celebration of the Centenary of the city of Latina 1932-2032. It was approved today in the Senate Culture Committee. And “great satisfaction” is expressed by Andrea Paganella, group leader of the League in the Culture and Public Education Commission of Palazzo Madama and signatory of the bill. “Latina, born as Littoria, ‘new city’, at the center of the historic undertaking of the reclamation of the Agro Pontino, landing place for internal migration, in particular from Veneto and Emilia-Romagna and in the post-war period of Italian exiles from Istria and Dalmatia, of political refugees from Soviet Europe and many North African countries – observes Paganella – has been able to make its diversity an extraordinary harmony with an impetuous agricultural and industrial development which over the years has led it to become the first city in Lazio after Rome”. “The celebrations of the centenary of Latina, starting from this year and until 2032, include initiatives on all fronts”, Paganella. “I like to dedicate this important achievement, which we must ascribe to the foresight of the senators who proposed and signed the bill, to our writer Antonio Pennacchi, a singer who exported the Latin epic to the world, with his wonderful novel ‘Canale Mussolini’ “, says the mayor of Latina Matilde Celentano.
