The Mayor is asked: "and if we were to continue ..."

Cosenza? Ah, you ... near Mormanno. Rome? Yes, yes ... north of Mormanno! Play well Magalli unexpected popularity of common Pollino. Of course, is known sagacity conductor, but the Mormanno people makes pleasure! Six consecutive weeks in the transmission of presence in south-Family on BBC2 every Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 to 13:00-recording average audience of about two million viewers across the country can not fail to leave their mark. Perhaps the sky line of non-Mormanno tower will be known as one of Manhattan but week after week entered the homes of Italians as enough to become an applicant and family.

A global phenomenon: with RAI International viewers in Latin America. The drafting a tender RAI receives mail from an Mormanno people emigrated to Brazil: "I rise at six in the morning, along with my family, to revise my sweet country." From all citizens: good! Keep it up! That beautiful image you are giving our region! The incredible involvement of the many migrants who live outside.

It will be the litmus test of popularity that the transmission in Southern Family has given us. Early findings at the interest and bookings at the facilities me to be a great success of attendance mainly from outside the region. On this exhilarating experience Mayor William Armentano issuing a final consideration: "Mormanno in all these weeks of programming, with scenic composition of our tradition (food, costumes and handicrafts), is launching a promotion that now involves the entire province Cosenza and - if we were to continue - will involve the whole region but especially is saying a positive image and winning of Calabria. The secret of this success should be attributed mainly to the peculiarities of reality “mormannese” that despite a small population of about 3600 inhabitants, counts dozens of associations of great activism. Volunteering and employment leisure organized in associations to take over a significant role in the social fabric of the community has made in recent weeks to respond best to the great effort that the organization of direct links requires. Not secondary also the contribution from those artisans and entrepreneurs who were able to seize the opportunity by enlarging the scope to specific national craft and culinary land. Ben thirty construction stage now set that collected the appreciation of the director and the public: a difficult test which I think Mormanno bait promoted with flying colors. "
