Oslo. Alberto Colella began his duty as the Italian Ambassador to Oslo on Monday February 12th and yesterday he greeted his fellow compatriots in Norway. “Dear fellow compatriots and friends of Italy, in the first days as Italian Ambassador to Norway I would like to extend a warm greeting to all of you. I am very happy to be here in Norway, a highly developed country with extraordinary human and cultural wealth, which in recent years has seen the bonds of friendship and collaboration with Italy strengthen even further. In this tight bond, you, dear friends, are the beating heart of the Italian presence in Norway, with your dynamism and competence, your passion, your business acumen, culture, and your ability to establish daily contact with the Norwegian way of life. The Italian Embassy is your home so I invite you to stay in touch with us through this website and our Twitter page and soon through Facebook. Your participation and your suggestions will undoubtedly prove useful to make our work even more effective and close to your needs, but also to maintain Italy’s name high and visible in Norway. Of course there will be many occasions to get to know each other, I send you my sincerest ‘bentrovati’!”. (9Colonne).
