OUR HISTORY

The “Tourist Association Pro Loco” was born in 1950s, but its social statute dates back to 31st December 1962. Its founders were the priest Vincenzo Amenduni (who became the first President of the Association), Sir Nicola Stragapede, Sir Giovanni Bernocco, Sir Tommaso Altamura and Sir Graziano Stasi.
The first President of the Association was the priest Vincenzo Amenduni.
The statute has been renewed in the time, in order to update it according to the changed relationships with Local Authorities and the workable and organizational needs, and to adequate it to the first regional statute of Pro Loco. The last statute is of 2004.
