This is an important opportunity to make people aware of our wonderful natural environment, our hard working local citizens, and our vocation for welcoming tourists. We have prepared ourselves with enthusiasm and dedication in order to maximize our chances of victory, with the help of our voluntary organizations, elderly, and children. It has also been a valuable occasion to educate and encourage our fellow residents to look after and respect our green areas and appreciate their home. We are looking forward to meeting the commission of judges on 23 July 2019 and we hope that this Luigi Nicolussi Mayor of Molveno event will bring both enjoyment and personal growth.
