A busy schedule: the agenda sees a series of meetings with the highest local authorities on issues of industrial and technological cooperation, as well as the organization of joint initiatives in the fields of tourism, enogastronomy and civil protection. Bolzonello will also visit the port of Shizmizu and some of the most important tourist sites located near Mount Fuji. Tuesday, October 4 Bolzanello will stop in Tokyo, where he is scheduled to meet with the president of Mangiarotti Spa – Toshiba Corporation, Toshiyuki Harada.
