It is crucial in this regard the government's strong commitment to reconstruction, as well as the management company. " Following the meeting Napolitano urged workers to Fincantieri to join him for lunch.
Napolitano also met with representatives of the port community of La Spezia, led by the chairman of the Port Authority, Lorenzo Forcieri. "His visit - Forcieri said the president - has a particular value for us, because it is a warning signal to the world of work and the community of the port, to a productive world made up of workers and companies that are committed daily by professional and innovation to create growth and opportunity in a difficult moment, characterized by the international crisis. But our country can return to a path of development and influence, only if it can be, as in the past, production engine of innovation, a crossroads of commerce and the protagonist of positive international relations.
