Shama – “Thanks to you, I am proud to be Italian,” said the President of the Senate Piero Grasso while visiting the UNIFIL military base in Shama, Lebanon. Grasso is in Lebanon to bring “the affection and gratitude of our country for the sacrifices that you face every day – said Grasso to the soldiers – and the honor with which you represent Italy, in all our determination, identity, and humanity in this land.”(9Colonne)
