At a Monday reception and press event at Yankee Stadium, across the street from where many of those great Italian-American stars made their marks on the sport, a delegation of Italian baseball dignitaries, including the mayor of Nettuno and Tourism Directors of the Lazio Region and of Rome, discussed the efforts across the region and the country to help make the event a success, not just for baseball but for tourism as well.

“Many people know of Rome, but not as many are familiar with Nettuno and the history there,” said Patrizia Prestipino, Tourism Minister of Rome, which is about 40 miles north of Nettuno. “It is a place where everyone plays baseball from when they are small children, and there is a magnificent stadium there.”
