17/12/14

The Apostolic Nuncio in Lebanon, Monsignor Gabriele Giordano Caccia, visited the "Millevoi" base in Shama (Lebanon), home to the Joint Task Force Lebanon Sector West and the Italian contingent of Unifil, currently based on the "Pinerolo" brigade, where he celebrated the Sunday religious function.

Welcomed by the Unifil force commander, division general Luciano Portolano, and by the commander of the Sector West and the Italian contingent, Brigadier General Stefano Del Col, the high prelate, before the Holy Mass, met all the free personnel from the service to which he stressed the importance of respecting religious values, taking as a reference precisely the Lebanese society where different religions coexist and respect each other.
