The decision was taken a month ago by the general council of the association, meeting on 7 May in Sassuolo, the same Emilian town, leader in ceramic production, where the association meeting took place yesterday which made the appointment official, also electing the new presidential team which is made up of vice presidents Vittorio Borelli, Luigi Di Carlantonio, Giorgio Romani, Alberto Selmi and Graziano Verdi.
Ciarrocchi: “There is still no alternative to methane gas”
“Everything has happened in recent years, all that was missing was the invasion of the Martians…”, Ciarrocchi said in the presentation press conference. For example on the use of alternative energies, a topic on which “nothing tells us that they can replace methane, and it is useless to propose absurd calendars up to 2030 if there is nothing on the horizon to replace methane”. Ciarrocchi hoped that there would be “an awareness among all political forces” on the topic.
