We are going to New York to bring Modena to 360 degrees - he adds - and this year then, the message of which we are ambassadors is even more significant: Emilia Romagna, despite the floods that brought it to its knees in recent weeks it is a land of reactive men and women who roll up their sleeves to guarantee continuity of production and allow our agri-food sector to still be the most competitive in the world”.
