Dear Friends Readers of L'ARENA DI POLA,
Dear AIPI-LCPE Members,
September was a month full of events, changes and anniversaries, linked to the Julian-Dalmatian reality and, as usual, followed by our Arena in order to be able to report them.
After expectations, hopes and postponements, it was finally possible to hold the meeting in Pola of the Polesani Sparnissadi. …And meeting again is always an emotion, as the headline on the front page says, which features the greeting of the newly elected AIPI-LCPE president
