"My deepest sympathies go out to the families and Mayor Francesco Rucco.
Vicenza's municipal twinning team had reached out to the city at the start of the week to offer their complete and unwavering support. They are available to help. We are available to assist them and accompany them in this ordeal that tragically echos global warming, another drama that recalls the urgency of taking stock of what is going in our glaciers," informs Annecy.
