"On March 31, however, I want to pass the hand because I have an important position as commander of the Operational Command of Vertice Interforze and I want to dedicate myself to that. I think I have done my part, I have seen beautiful things and less beautiful things but that's enough. I am a technician and I want to remain a technician ".
Thus Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, extraordinary commissioner for the Covid emergency, during the presentation of the book "An Italian" written together with Beppe Severgnini, announces that with the end of the state of emergency he will return to his position in Defense.
"I am the Joint Chief Operating Officer (Covi) and if you see what is happening in the world today I think I have things to do because all the forces in operational missions depend on me, both in Italy and abroad. 37 missions in progress, three in Italy and 34 in all areas of the world ".
On Ukraine: "We have activated our commands, at Covi there is a crisis team that is permanent, activated to follow the evolution. We have increased our entire device and the readiness of our land, air and naval forces. To For example, we have doubled the air surveillance device in Romania and implemented the measures to respond to the crisis as they arrive through the council of the Atlantic alliance and the supreme commander of NATO. This from a military point of view ".
Ready to embark on a new adventure, even if the experience with Covid will remain in his memories: "Half of the book is about this incredible adventure that I happened to experience. So, if I have grandchildren, maybe one day they will read what he did Grandpa".
