“Volunteers and volunteers have worked and are working tirelessly to provide the best possible reception and efficiency, despite the situation of great emergency,” commented Ravenna Mayor Michele de Pascale. “I realize that being away from one’s home is a great inconvenience, but at this time it is essential for people’s safety. In addition to thanking the volunteers endlessly, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the managers of the facilities who have generously made space available.”
