Modigliana, one of the smallest realities but also one of the most damaged, starts the visit of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella in the flooded Romagna.
The Head of State will reach the village of the Forlì Apennines where the mayor Jader Dardi and the citizens will await him, then he will be in Forlì, to meet the volunteers who worked in the emergency and the day will end in the afternoon with the mayors of the territory in Faenza, where the water of the Lamone has invaded various areas of the historic center, in the night between 16 and 17 May. But during the day there will be other stages and meetings with the population: probably Cesena, Lugo, Ravenna. " I think it is a beautiful message to the people and the populations because the President of the Republic enjoys esteem, respect, for all that he has been able to demonstrate and is demonstrating", said the President of the Emilia-Romagna Region, Stefano Bonaccini. "I have to thank him - he continued - last year on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the earthquake, coming to Medolla and then to Finale Emilia, in the two epicenters of the two tremors of 20 and 29 May he said 'Italy must be grateful to Emilia, to the Emilia-Romagna and its people for what they have shown'. We had an exemplary reconstruction and now we want to do the same thing."
