2nd PLACE FOR Mormanno, SO THAT IS IN HARMONY FESTIVAL AND EXPERIENCE IN A FAMILY MEZZOGIORNO

OPEN LETTER TO THE MAYOR MORMANNESI Mormanno closes his experience in the broadcasting of Rai 2 "Mezzogiorno in Famiglia". The second place in the final certainly leave a little 'bitter in your mouth-not least because the victory was at hand until the last strokes of the race, the first prize was "the icing on the cake, the crowning touch to the hard work but sportingly accept the verdict of the game and recognize the merits and value to your opponent.

Of these ten weeks on Rai2 certainly remain a beautiful memory in all of you, dear Fellow. We have opened a window from which our Mormanno was well illustrated in the nation by promoting a positive image of himself and of Calabria was referred banner. We started with the idea of promoting tourism, our country and we have collected much more. We have mobilized energy, knowledge and traditions of which we now appreciate more the value, we have awakened a healthy pride of belonging and community that will be of great help to the evidence that the future will arise. The next challenge is to not defeat the formidable opportunity for participation in "Noon in the Family" has given us. If today Mormanno is no longer the anonymous country a year ago for tomorrow we must keep alive the ambition to become the center of tourist attraction.

The administration will continue on this route but now, more than in the past, it required a collective effort of the entire community. Not starting from scratch. We have a wealth of energy for which no never find enough words to express the gratitude they deserve for what they have done in recent months. The Assessor Zaccaria and his working group with particular reference to women tireless, the guys of the team in the studio, the singers, dancers and the many who have ventured in the games in the square (always exceptional!), Craftsmen and Mormanno tour operators and the region that have made a valuable sign of availability well beyond the particular interest of promoting business and the "common people", the repository of ancient traditions, to their credit that today are rediscovered and appreciated; associations (invaluable) and all those who for various reasons have been directly affected by the organization.

I thank my fellow citizens for their sense of hospitality and the composure with which they have accepted the bulky machine and television in particular mormannesi "everywhere" that do not always have their support with the televoting.

Thanks to all.

The Mayor of Mormanno

Guglielmo Armentano
