Naples - An emotional farewell and a warm welcome took place in the courtyard of honor of the Salvo D'Acquisto Barracks. Major General Canio Giuseppe La Gala left command of the "Campania" Carabinieri Legion today, destined for the prestigious post of Commander of the Officers' School in Rome.
Picking up his legacy is Major General Francesco Gargaro, who returns to a land he knows well.
The ceremony, in the presence of the Deputy General Commander of the Arma dei Carabinieri, Lieutenant General Marco Minicucci, and the highest civil and military authorities of the region, celebrated the work carried out by La Gala over the last 14 months, a period that has seen the Campania force achieve extraordinary results.
In his farewell speech, General La Gala addressed his men with emotion, calling them "the silent heroes of every day."

"I saw in you the heart of the Force," he said, "that heart that beats when a Carabiniere listens to a person in difficulty, when he reaches out to those in need, when he intervenes without hesitation, even putting himself at risk."
His strongest message, however, is aimed at the future, at young people. "Speak to young people, who are our future," he urged, "make them understand that ours is a friendly uniform: always be there for them." an influencer of legality." An exhortation to be points of reference, not only in times of crisis, but also for simple advice or a word of comfort. An increasingly important role in communities, which La Gala hoped for the Carabinieri.
The baton now passes to General Francesco Gargaro, who boasts extensive experience in the region, having previously held senior positions such as Commander of the Castello di Cisterna Group. Gargaro, who is leaving the Carabinieri Cultural Heritage Protection Command, expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him and reaffirmed his commitment to continuing his predecessor's work, maintaining a high level of focus on the safety and well-being of the Campania community. Under his leadership, the region's more than 8 Carabinieri will continue to be a bastion of legality.
