Brussels. Giuseppe Avolio, a historian and President of CIA – Confederazione Italiana Agricoltori (Italian Farmers Confederation) – was convinced 25 years ago that “a united Europe and a cohesive and integrated Mediterranean exist thanks to agriculture”, but his perspective is still relevant today. In difficult times such as this one in the European Union – with Brexit and anti-euro currents – there is a need for a new European dream within which the primary sector acts as an element of cohesion and growth” stated CIA, who decided to start official celebrations for its 40th anniversary in Brussels, with a programme at the European Parliament dedicated to Avolio and Europe.
