L'Aquila is so beautiful. A visit to my ancestral places was such an emotion. Foglietta visited in the Townhall the chamber where the original Perdonanza Bull is kept then promised he will be back soon. Born in Filadelfia 72 years ago, he was a laywer, then City counsellor, until in 1980 he was elected to Congress.
