The show was of those who keep the breath suspended and the nose up: Messina lived a memorable day thanks to the tricolor arrows.
For the first time in their history, the 10 Aermacchi MB-339pan of the national acrobatic patrol flew over the Strait, entering the stroke of the last note of Mameli’s latest note: a creepy moment, which alone would be enough to tell the magic of the event.
Tens of thousands of assiepted spectators between beaches and coast, eyes full of amazement and tricolor in the heart.
The tricolor arrows, already holders of the Guinness World Record for the largest number of reaction planes in flight in acrobatic formation, offered 30 minutes of spectacular evolutions over a city paralyzed by emotion.
A special bond has made everything even more felt: the team head, Major Pierluigi Raspa, is originally from Roccalumera, in the province of Messina. With him, other local references such as Lieutenant Colonel Franco Paolo Morocco, friend and “Compare of pedal“By Vincenzo Nibali, also present, and Colonel Francesco Moraci, director of the event.
A success for the Municipal Administration, which after the spectacular Funambolo Jaan Roose last year, wanted to focus on an event outside the box.
The only drawback: the viability, with the closure of the Consular Pompea who sent the overview of the Strait to the end at the end of the event.
