After participating in the ceremonies for the Festa della Repubblica Italiana in Barcelona, President Capasso spent many hours traveling through the city with all public transport available: bus, tram, metro, taxi, cable car, bicycle, boat, motorbike.
From the most popular suburbs to the centre, it strikes the civic sense and care for the city: clean streets, modern and intact public transport, well-kept gardens and even lawns on which the fast tram glides for miles (with "simple" access for the handicapped) well maintained and verdant.

A sense of order and care that confirms the role of great European and Mediterranean capital of Barcelona.

President Capasso congratulated Felip Roca, Director of External Relations of the Barcelona City Council.
