VICENZA, Italy -- More members of the American community will be able to leave their cars at home and travel by bike or foot to Caserma Ederle and downtown Vicenza.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place Feb. 16 near the Villaggio area to open a bike path as part of the result of a collaborative project with the city of Vicenza. The bike path provides a much-needed safe pedestrian/bike connection between Caserma Ederle and Villaggio della Pace. The project supports sustainable transportation and is part of larger program that is important to both the citizens of Vicenza and Vicenza Military Community.
Pictured: Cutting the ribbon at the ceremony (from left to right) were Giampaolo Strozzabosco, Vicenza Federazione Italiana Amici Bici; Col. Steve Marks, U.S. Army Garrison Italy commander; Col. Umberto D'Andria, Italian Base commander; Eugenio Capitanio, city councilor; and Antonio Marco Dalla Pozza, urban planning and sustainability city assessor. At far left is seven-year-old Lea-Maria Romani and her brother Liam, 4. The two held the tray with the scissors used in the ceremony. After the event, Dalla Pozza and Marks delivered remarks emphasizing that the project was made possible by the support of the Italian and U.S. military from Caserma Ederle.
