On April 28<\/strong>, the inauguration of the first event related to the AVIOCOM 100 initiative took place at the A. Geisser Civic Library<\/strong>, located at Corso Casale 5 in Turin. Our association, in collaboration with other philatelic and non-philatelic associations, commemorated the Centenary of Italian civil aviation (1926\u20132026)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Council member Anna Maria Borasi, representing the Mayor of Turin, Stefano Lo Russo, who was unable to attend due to institutional commitments, attended the inauguration. After conveying the Mayor’s greetings and recalling Turin’s importance in the nascent Italian civil aviation scene, she honored the organizers with an elegant and beautifully crafted commemorative plaque, reproduced below. The plaque was presented to Roberto Gallo, president of the Unione Filatelica Subalpina, as the hosting association, who will be able to display it at his headquarters to commemorate such an important anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n

Among the institutional attendees, a representative of the Piemonte Region, Councilor Monica Canalis, was also present. She spent time viewing the collections and all the exhibited material, which she found of great interest, especially as a historical testimony to what happened in Turin a hundred years ago, along the banks of the Valentino River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the audience, in addition to several representatives of the Subalpine Philatelic Union, some representatives of the National Air Force Officers Association, and several of our members, we noted, a very positive note, the presence of a large number of young students from the \u201cCharles Lindbergh\u201d Aeronautical Technical Institute in Turin.<\/p>\n\n\n
