Rome, 4 July (LaPresse) – ‘The celebration of Independence Day gives me the opportunity to extend to you, Mr President, and to the American people, the warmest congratulations of the Italian Republic and my own personal congratulations.’ This was written by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, in a message sent to the President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. ‘The United States,’ continued the Head of State, "is an irreplaceable partner for Italy. The solidity of bilateral relations and the extraordinary intensity of political dialogue reflect a bond that is deeply felt and shared by our peoples. Fruitful exchanges at the economic, cultural and social levels, which benefit from the contribution of the dynamic Italian-American community, contribute to a historic partnership that we intend to continue to consolidate on the basis of equity and mutual prosperity."
