Safety Village inaugurated

The Barcolana58 presented by Generali Safety Village was inaugurated this morning in Piazza della Borsa. For the second consecutive year, it brings together institutions, law enforcement agencies and the Armed Forces in a space dedicated to prevention and the promotion of awareness and responsible behaviour.

The inauguration was attended by Giuseppe Petronzi, Prefect of Trieste; Pierpaolo Roberti, Regional Councillor; Caterina De Gavardo, Municipal Councillor; and Mitja Gialuz, President of the Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano. It also marked the launch of the collaboration with 4SAFETYFVG, the road safety project promoted by the four Automobile Clubs of Friuli Venezia Giulia with funding from the Region.

At the heart of the initiative is the theme "Knowing Your Limits", connecting safety at sea with safety on the roads and emphasising the importance of respecting rules and taking personal responsibility.

"Safety is a fundamental issue for Barcolana, and we are particularly pleased that, for the second year running, thanks to the encouragement of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and the Municipality of Trieste, there is a space entirely dedicated to this value," commented Mitja Gialuz. "The Safety Village allows us to address safety in all its dimensions, from road safety to the protection of people and the local area, highlighting the work of law enforcement agencies, the Armed Forces and all the institutions involved. Our thanks go to all of them."
