On Tuesday 6 March, Inspector General Basilio Di Martino, Deputy Commander of the Logistics Command, accompanied by Brigadier General Maurizio Astolfi, Commander of the 2nd Division of the Logistics Command, paid a visit to the Centre for Aerotactical Aircraft (Ce.Po.V.A.) and subordinate units located at Cameri Airport. Upon his arrival, General Di Martino was welcomed by Colonel Pietro Paolo Traverso, Head of Ce.Po.V.A.. The visit initially covered the Airport Command, commanded by Colonel Roberto Zamponi, before continuing to the new museum area and some infrastructure in the operational zone. This was followed by a visit to the 1st Aircraft Maintenance Unit, directed by Colonel Roberto Lo Conte, where General Di Martino, after receiving a briefing on the activities carried out by the 1st A.M.U., toured the main hangar, the Supply Directorate and the unit's other facilities. During the visits, Inspector General Basilio Di Martino and Brigadier General Astolfi took the opportunity to discuss some of the main technical issues and organisational developments necessary for carrying out the growing activities performed by Ce.Po.V.A., the Airport Command and the 1st A.M.U.. At the end of the visit, during the traditional signing of the guest book and the exchange of crests, General Di Martino thanked Colonel Traverso for his hospitality, expressing full satisfaction with the results achieved by Ce.Po.V.A. and the subordinate units, and emphasising that the Cameri base increasingly represents an important reality for the future of the Armed Force.

Ce.Po.V.A., which oversees the 1st Aircraft Maintenance Department and the Airport Command, represents the Italian Air Force's main engineering, maintenance and logistic centre for high-performance “fast jet” aircraft.
