As his departure approaches, the Consul General met with the President of The Italian Women's Association, Hong Kong (IWA), Alessandra Bettiol, to thank her for IWA's commendable commitment to support the Italian women in Hong Kong  and various charitable activities. The traditional Mercatino di IWA , which has become an important event for the Italian and local community over the years, raises funds to support the projects of the 'Duchess of Kent' Children's Hospital and other solidarity initiatives. The Association, with the support of the Consulate General, has started to prepare for the 2022 edition!
