(ANSA) – MILAN, JUN 18 – The mayor of Bergamo Giorgio Gori will be in Bucha, Ukraine, from the afternoon of Tuesday 21 June to sign a twinning between the two cities – the first to become a symbol of resistance and rebirth after being seriously hit by the Covid-19 pandemic in spring 2020, and the second dramatically battered by the violence of the Russian occupation in March of this year.
Gori explained that the history of the Ukrainian city “has greatly affected Italian public opinion”. “It is impossible for us not to find some traits in common with the story of our city, which in turn, in spite of itself, has become a symbol of another tragic event, that of the Covid19 pandemic which in Bergamo, between March and April 2020, caused 700 victims, and over 6,000 in our province – he observed – For this reason I thought of proposing a special relationship between our cities, a relationship that is not only symbolic, but one that could be filled with concrete things and actions, just as the aid was concrete. that Bergamo received from Italy and abroad when it was in great difficulty “.
