Naples hosted an event at the Museo Filangieri connected to German Unity Day, marking 75 years since Italy and Germany resumed diplomatic relations after the Second World War.
The event presented the relationship as spanning cultural, economic and institutional ties. Initiatives by the Goethe-Institut were presented as part of the cultural bridge between Naples and Germany.
Participants included Paolo Iorio, Britta Schlüter, head of the German Embassy's cultural office in Italy, and Stefano Ducceschi, the German consul in Naples.
Ducceschi described Germany as a strong partner of Italy in the European Union, NATO and the United Nations.
Separately, the German Embassy marked the anniversary by planting one of its "75 trees for 75 places" at Parco Virgiliano.
