The armed forces at the fair

14/09/14

Yesterday, a brief ceremony was held at the Military Memorial of the Overseas War in Bari, in memory of the victims of the two world war conflicts, in the presence of the highest civil and military authorities and with the presence of the Minister of Defense, sen. Roberta Pinotti.

The president of the council Matteo Renzi was also present at the opening ceremony of the Fiera del Levante.

In addition to various stands of construction companies, nurseries, cultural, commercial and food, there was the army entitled "The Italian Army, a resource for the country".

The 78 ^ edition stand responds to the exhibition philosophy of "Enthusiasm and Innovation". The enthusiasm is that of the military who every day renew their sense of belonging to the army with commitment in Italy and abroad. Innovation is indicated by the sharing of future programs and armed force projects such as digitization and the future soldier.

The stand at the fair is organized by the military command "Puglia", employed by the gen. B. Natalino Madeddu, in collaboration with the military pharmaceutical chemical factory of Florence, the mechanized brigade "Pinerolo" and the Alpine brigade "Taurinense".

The absolute novelty is given by the assets of the military pharmaceutical chemical factory that will sell perfumes, cosmetics, chocolate and liqueurs to the public.

Thanks to the presence of the Alpine troops of the 9th regiment it is possible to try their hand at the artificial wall gym for sport climbing and discover the “Lince” light multirole tactical vehicle.

The military aviation, in addition to having exhibited a mock-up of the unmanned Predator aircraft, with a flight simulator allows you to experience the thrill of identifying with the role of pilot of our acrobatic team and see up close to an AB 339 with the livery of the Frecce Tricolori.
