NRRP: Minister Fitto says cooperation and discussions with Metropolitan City mayors are essential to achieve the results we are aiming for
“I gladly accepted the invitation from the national president of ANCI [National Association of Italian Municipalities], Antonio Decaro, to hold discussions with the mayors of Italy’s Metropolitan Cities, following the positive opinion expressed by the ‘Regions-Provinces-Municipalities Unified Conference’.
