Slovak President Peter Pellegrini

part of his official visit to Italy.
The Slovakian head of state will visit Campoformido town hall

Italian pilots Giotto Mancinelli Scotti, Umberto Merlino, and
Gabriello Aggiusti. Pellegrini will then travel to Trieste,
where he will meet with Region President Massimiliano Fedriga,
Mayor Roberto Dipiazza, Extraordinary Commissioner Vittorio
Torbianelli, and the new President of the Adsp Mare Adriatico
Orientale, Antonio Gurrieri.
One of the expected visits is to the Port of Trieste, which
is becoming increasingly important to Slovakia's economy. The
day will conclude with a solemn reception hosted by the Honorary
Consul of the Slovak Republic in Trieste, Luca Davide Farina.
The Slovak delegation will include Juraj Blanár, Minister of
Foreign and European Affairs, and Karla Matiašco Wursterova,
Ambassador of the Slovak Republic to Italy.
