The municipality of Alassio presented an official parchment and a dedicated volume to the Swiss‑origin Rickenbacher family in recognition of 50 consecutive years of tourist loyalty to the coastal town. Vice‑mayor Angelo Galtieri, delegated for tourism, welcomed Norbert, Claire and their son Norbert Jr., who also sent a letter recalling the family’s long‑standing ties to Alassio.
In Senigallia, the city’s administration honored two local centenarians, Anita Giraldi and Renato Rosati. Vice‑mayor Gabriele Cameruccio and cultural assessor Massimo Bello delivered symbolic recognitions, marking their hundred‑year milestones and highlighting the town’s respect for its senior citizens and local heritage.
