The Palinuro ship will land in Catanzaro to make a dutiful tribute to the Calabrian marine traditions and share with the territory an important moment of knowledge and encounter. From 1 to 4 August the famous sailing ship of the Navy will reach the Lido district to offer citizens and tourists the opportunity to admire what it has been, for over 70 years, a symbol of training and an Italian icon recognized and appreciated all over the world. With its 69 meters in length and a 35 -meter high tree, Palinuro is, in fact, counted among the oldest units and historically linked to the national traditions and culture that the Navy preserves among its most precious excellence.
“Together with the mayor Nicola Fiorita I shared the invitation addressed to the Navy, in recent months, to ensure that the regional capital city could be honored with the presence of such a prestigious symbol and able to enhance, with its imposing image, the area of the Marina di Catanzaro “, comments the deputy mayor with delegation to the policies of the sea, Giusy Iemma. “We strongly thank the military body for having responded positively, in the belief that the passage of Palinuro represents for the administration the opportunity to capture the curiosity and participation of citizens, as well as to build a significant tourist attraction and image for the whole territory. We hope, therefore, that this initiative can constitute the opportunity for the whole community to demonstrate that spirit of welcome and sharing that, they have always been our most authentic image”.
