“In Trieste guests of YC Adriaco President, 2 nights on the quai d’honneur, Piero Fornasaro de Manzini. In Marina di Ravenna guests of CVR President Gianni Paulucci, 2 nights and 2 excellent dinners at the Circolo Restaurant. In Marina Dorica everything was very good : thanks to the very kind Leonardo Zuccaro. The Marina gave a 30 percent discount. In Pescara guests at the Marina di Pescara, a large and well-equipped marina, thanks to Circolo La Scuffia to Sabrina and Giancarlo Casuscelli. Kindness, elegance and effectiveness are the 3 key words of the reception given to ITA-4000 by the Bari Sailing Club. Valeria di Cagno organized the mooring at the Mar di Levante Marina. Vice President Engineer Vincenzo Sassanelli decided on all procedures, opening access to the beautiful and historic venue under the Margherita Theater in the heart of the city. Farewell IV received the Circle’s guidon. Exquisite the president, Mrs. Simonetta Lorusso. Dinner at Circolo is a unique experience, not only for the scenery but also for the quality of the Apulian recipes with the freshest fish“.
