Incontro con la comunità a Lancaster Festa Italia

What a day at Lancaster Festa Italia!

The event kicked off on a rainy but well-attended Saturday evening with a musical performance, and culminated today in a sunny Lancaster city centre filled with Italian music, food, colours and traditional costumes.

Comites members Cesare Ardito and Silvia Massini were present, joined briefly by one of our auditors, Rocco Abazia. Together they hosted a stand to meet the local community, gather feedback, and offer support.

We spoke with dozens of people curious to learn more about our work in support of the Italian community, many of whom sought advice or assistance. Community input helps us identify priorities and critical issues on which to focus our resources and communication efforts.

Most citizens we met had already received their electoral ballot, but not all: in those cases, we helped them request a duplicate from the Consulate.

Congratulations to the organisers at Totally Local Lancaster, and thank you to everyone who stopped by to speak with us.L'evento è iniziato in un piovoso, ma partecipato, sabato sera con un'esibizione musicale, ed è culminato oggi in una soleggiata piazza centrale di Lancaster con musica, cibo, colori e costumi italiani.
