First Poetry Competition Concluded at the Grazzanise Air Force Military Airport.
The authors of the poems, military and civilian personnel and their respective families, addressing the theme “De Noni Stormi Historia Ac Poetica” (The History and Poetry of De Noni Squadrons), highlighted, through memories and historical figures of the base, the past achievements of the Squadron and the Armed Force. “The Propeller Turns, the Engine Roars” is the title of the winning poem of the competition, written by civilian employee Eugenio Raimondo, which recounts, with captivating rhymes, the life of the Aviator. Many other poems were also worthy of consideration. Among these, “The Flight that Ends,” dedicated by 1st Marshal Orlando Esposito to his beloved colleague who passed away prematurely, Sergeant Major Fabio Cenname. At the close of the event, prizes and commemorative plaques were presented to the winners by the President of the cockpit, Lieutenant Domenico Barbato, who thanked all participants, highlighting how the event represented a wonderful opportunity to remember the work of our predecessors for the benefit of the Squadron and the Armed Force. “La Carlinga” is a non-profit association, established to increase and strengthen the values and esprit de corps that characterise the large family of Warrant Officers and Troopers of the Blue Force, to preserve and reinforce traditions, and to promote and organise social events aimed at both personnel and their families.
