Rome, 5 June (LaPresse) – "For over two centuries, the Carabinieri have stood by Italians with courage, selflessness and a sense of duty. Men and women in uniform who serve the nation every day and protect citizens and the territory: in the fight against crime, terrorism and the mafia, in the defence of the environment and in many other areas. At home and abroad, they are always present, confirming their role as a valuable point of reference for our communities." This was posted on social media by the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. "On the 212th anniversary of its foundation, I wish to pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty, to those who were wounded in service and still bear the scars today, and to those who, every day, guided by the motto ‘faithful through the ages’, honour the Corps with loyalty and a spirit of service. Thank you for your daily support and best wishes," concluded the Prime Minister, who will be in Reggio Calabria at 11am to attend the military ceremony marking the 212th anniversary of the founding of the Carabinieri.
