The 210th anniversary of the foundation of the Carabinieri was celebrated this morning in Sassari. An anniversary which this year had as its backdrop the scenario of the Madonna del Latte Dolce square, as desired by the provincial commander of the Carabinieri, Colonel Massimiliano Pricchiazzi, to signify the closeness of the Force to all citizens, without distinction.

"The outskirts of cities, as well as the provinces - the colonel states - have always been the territories where the institution is the cornerstone of legality, often exclusively, representing the only point of reference for citizens". The highest civil, military and religious institutions of the territory were present at the ceremony, including several mayors of the Sassari area.

The celebration was opened by a message from the Head of State Sergio Mattarella who expressed his gratitude for the commitment made by the Carabinieri both in missions abroad and in policing the territory. Several commendations were given to the soldiers stationed in the province who distinguished themselves in operations to restore legality, even risking their own lives. There was a large participation of citizens who gathered around the square to witness the event.
