USA General Consulate in Milan Weygandt pays a visit to the NYCVE’s editorial office

Published: 2008 - June/July, Current Affairs

An unexpected visit crowns the commitment by NYCVE in bringing United States and Italy closer.   Last March 27 the American general consulate  Daniel Weygandt has in fact been guest of our magazine, part of a tour which has made stops at the main cultural areas in Venice. After spending some time at the Guggenheim Collection and visited Palazzo Grassi, the new USA general Consulate for Northern Italy has completed its own visit to the Laggon City by meeting the editors Andrea and Carlo Mazzanti, the writers and designers of the Italian-American magazine NYCVE, which for the last five years has cooperated with the American embassy and consulate.
Since his arrival in Milan in September 2007, Daniel Weygandt has traveled some itineraries throughout Northern Italy searching for excellences and opportunities to strengthen the ties between the two Countries.
It was thus inevitable to add Nycve newsroom among his stops and meet personally the players behind this magazine. Especially given that the new consulate intends to make of cultural dialogue a priority of his appointment: “my first objective – has pointed out the general consulate Mr. Daniel Weygandt – is to promote cultural exchanges between United States and Italy and based on this objective my wish is to strengthen the cooperation with the Nycve magazine and with institutions, foundations, museums and art collections of Venice.” “The Embassy and consulate alike – added Consulate Mr. Daniel Weygandt – pay particualr attention to the Lagoon’s City: proof is the inauguration in 2006, at the Marco Polo airport, of a consulate office which – has reminded Mr. Weygandt – offers many services to thousands of American citizens who each year visit Venice.”
