Tanning towns tie up twinning deal

19/07/2016
Local political leaders from the leather industry cluster around Santa Croce sull’Arno in Tuscany travelled to Portugal in mid-July to formalise a twinning agreement with that country’s main leather-producing town, Alcanena.

Santa Croce’s mayor, Giulia Deidda, led the delegation from Italy and said afterwards she viewed the new arrangement as something that will ope up “a whole range of possibilities” for Alcanena and its Tuscan counterpart.
