Mayor Vincenzo Ascione formalized the resolution voted unanimously last month by the City Council and delivered, during a ceremony in the Municipality, the parchment to Giancarlo's brother, Paolo Siani.

“Today Torre Annunziata gives honorary citizenship to Giancarlo and Palazzo Fienga is returned to the State and the community.
