In November 2006, Laziali nel
Mondo and Polsinelli Public
Affairs LLC proudly presented
the Prelude to a Gemellaggio
(sister-region) between the
Lazio region of Italy and the
Capital District of New York
State. The goal of a
gemellaggio is to have an
international cultural and
business alliance that promotes
exchanges and projects in areas
of business, tourism, education,
culture, arts, sports and
technology.
A delegation of officials from
Italy came to show their
support of our Laziali nel
Mondo association and to
commence talks that will lead to
the formal organization of the
gemellaggio.
The visiting dignitaries
included:

Department of Emigrants

Fontechiari, Frosinone

of the Frosinone Province
Antonio Farina: Special
Representative
Claudio Marziale:

Frederico Polsinelli, LLC was
instrumental in setting up
meetings between the visiting
delegation and local
dignitaries, legislators, area
businessmen, and members of the
community.
The highlight of their visit was a
personal tour of the State
Capital Building, followed by a
Gala at the New York State
Museum.
The Gala was a fabulous evening
of fine dining, music and
speeches. The Honorable
Assemblymen, John J. McEneny and

of honor and spoke of the
wonders of Italy and the
exciting possibilities for this
