The Bishop of the Piacenza-Bobbio diocese, Mons. Adriano Cevolotto, made a pastoral visit on June 26 to both the Allied Group headquarters and the Raccordi Forgiati plant.
The visit is part of the regular visits that the Bishop makes to the 38 communities of his diocese and to the world of work.
The distinguished guest was accompanied by the administrator of the parishes in the Municipality of Alta Val Tidone, Don Jean Marc Kasidikoko Ketikila, and by the director of the Piacenza Catholic weekly Il Nuovo Giornale, Don Davide Maloberti.
At the Vascellino headquarters, he was welcomed by chairman Valter Alberici, who, after thanking him for the much-appreciated visit, explained the history of the Group. He then accompanied him to Raccordi Forgiati in the Casetta area, where he was greeted, along with the factory workers, by the administrators of Raccordi, Vilma Braga, and Allied, Stefania Pilla, the cultural councilor of the Municipality of Alta Val Tidone Giovanni Dotti, and Giovanni Nani, who half a century ago, in 1976, was among the founders of the company of which he is still the sole auditor today.
The Bishop, always accompanied by Valter Alberici, visited the production department and then proceeded to bless the facility. At the end of the ceremony, Mons. Cevolotto spent time with those present, who were happy and honored by the opportunity to speak with such a prestigious representative of the highest ecclesiastical authorities.
