elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed2fae8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">On March 28, a new club was inaugurated in the charming industrial city, whose lake waters were immortalized by Manzoni, the crown of flowering villas generously scattered along the entire riviera, and the verdant hills that rise above it, creating a magnificent backdrop. The invitation from the new Rotarians of Como therefore exerted an exceptional appeal on Rotarians from other nearby cities, and thus at this inauguration we saw a good number of them attend, mostly from Milan, and then from Genoa, Brescia, Turin, Cuneo, Bergamo, and Venice. The fairer sex was also well represented.  <\/p><p class=\"p1\">The inaugural ceremony took place at two o&#8217;clock at the Hotel Plinius. The Rotarians of Como were present in full, and the hall, also crowded with many gracious ladies, presented a fine sight. To welcome the guests, the first to speak was the Podest\u00e0 of Como, the Honorable Baragiola, president of the inaugurating club.   <\/p><p class=\"p1\"><strong>The greeting of the Honorable Baragiola.<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\">&#8220;Before I speak as president of the committee charged with forming the Rotary Club of Como,&#8221; he said, &#8220;I must extend to the Rotarians who have kindly gathered here today the cordial greeting of the Podest\u00e0 of Como.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">I must also express a grateful thought to the president of Rotary Italy, Dr. Piero Pirelli, who wished for a Rotary club to be established here as well. <\/p><p class=\"p1\">I know what the high aims of Rotary are, and I feel that the Rotarians of Como will form a compact nucleus from which the city will receive profound benefits for its prosperous and happy future. The Rotary Club of Como has already met several times and has immediately demonstrated a strong sense of unity, expressing the intention to work usefully, according to Rotarian principles, so that on this truly solemn day, we look to all Rotarians with a joyful and cordially fraternal spirit.  <\/p><p class=\"p1\">Our particular gratitude goes, in addition to Dr. Pirelli, to the former presidents of Rotary Italy, Anderson and Mylius, whom I see present here, as well as to the representatives of the clubs of Milan, Genoa, Brescia, Turin, Cuneo, Bergamo, and Venice. <\/p><p class=\"p1\">And now I wish to close these few words of greeting with a thought directed to our homeland, because in this city, which is preparing to celebrate the centenary of Alessandro Volta, today, when De Pinedo&#8217;s wing is about to cross the ocean, and therefore between the exaltation of Volta&#8217;s genius and a manifestation of Italian audacity, it seems to me that the heartbeat for the homeland is more alive and more ardent.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">And it is with this thought, which will be dominant in all our action, that we await the official establishment of our Club. It seems to me that De Pinedo&#8217;s wing, flying over so many lands and touching so many shores, marks somewhat the Rotarian ideal that binds all men of good will wherever they may live. And, like De Pinedo&#8217;s wing, Volta&#8217;s discovery was also a powerful spark of Rotarian idealism because it multiplied and accelerated the bonds among men from the most distant lands.  <\/p><p class=\"p1\">With these sentiments, we set to work today, happy if the Rotary Club of small Como, always great in works and ardent in thought, can make an effective contribution to the magnificent work that all Rotarians in the world accomplish for the advancement of civilization. At the end of his speech, the Honorable Baragiola was warmly applauded. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad97ba9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"ad97ba9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.

Volta was not a Rotarian because Rotary did not exist then, but De Pinedo is an honorary member of the Naples club, and therefore we must greet his magnificent enterprise with a particular sense of collaboration and affection, a symbol, as the Honorable Baragiola said, of Rotarian solidarity, almost the immateriality of the wing of an Italian Rotarian, who, touching a great number of countries, will leave there the mark of the most vibrant Italian spirit. <\/p><p class=\"p1\">We must be pleased that this new club begins its official life today when Como, in addition to being a center of important industrial activities sympathetically known and a magnificent place favored by nature, constitutes a center of attraction for many foreign industries and for men of science from all over the world, who will gather here to remember a great Italian who, with his discovery, contributed so much to the progress of humanity. And I believe this is an auspicious sign for the fortunes of the Rotary Club of Como. <\/p><p class=\"p1\">I therefore renew, on behalf of all the Rotarians gathered here from other cities, and also of those absent, the expression of our solidarity for the new brother who today prepares to receive the inaugural baptism.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Dr. Pirelli&#8217;s words were also warmly applauded. Dr. Enrico Brambilla then read the list of members with their respective categories, after which the statute and regulations were approved. <\/p><p class=\"p1\">At Dr. Pirelli&#8217;s invitation, the election of officers took place, resulting in the following composition: president: Honorable Baragiola, vice president: Commendatore Musa, secretary: Cavaliere Brambilla, treasurer: Cavaliere Cattaneo, prefect: Attorney Lanfranconi, councilors: Cavaliere Tajana and Grand Officer Stucchi.  <\/p><p class=\"p1\">At this point, Dr. Pirelli, amid the applause of those present, officially declared the Como club established.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><strong>At Villa dell&#8217;Olmo<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\">After the inaugural ceremony, all the presidents, by automobile, went to visit the works of the Voltiana Exhibition at Villa dell&#8217;Olmo, around which large temporary structures had been erected, intended to house the imposing mass of material that Italian and foreign industries would send there. The preparatory works had not yet been completed that day, but the Rotarians were nonetheless able to form a concept of the grandeur of this exhibition, admiring in particular the vast sections dedicated to telephony and silk weaving. <\/p><p class=\"p1\">After a quick visit to the interior of the magnificent Villa dell&#8217;Olmo, the large group returned to the Hotel Plinius, where the inaugural luncheon took place, during which the traditional cordiality that characterizes these Rotarian gatherings had the opportunity to manifest itself.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><strong>The excursion to the center of the lake.<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Around 2:30 PM, on the steamship Milano, fully decorated, the excursion to the center of the lake began. On deck, a small orchestra entertained the excursionists, arousing in many the desire to dance. And so, while before their eyes unfolds the beautiful and evocative landscape of flowering villas along the shores of the lake and on the hills above, the couples, now emboldened, dance continuously.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">After about an hour, they reach the center of the lake, and Villa Carlotta appears in its polychrome flowering. The steamship docks at the pier of Cadenabbia, and everyone disembarks for a quick visit to the marvelous Villa, which could be called the temple of flowers. The garden, exuberant with the rarest vegetation, is entirely a flowering of azaleas, which lavish their delicate beauty. The group lingers a while along the paths, expressing great admiration for this marvelous place, in which it is difficult to determine how much is nature&#8217;s part and how much is the work of man. They return to the steamship, which in the meantime has undergone a transformation: tables have been set up on deck, elegantly arranged, and tea is served. Among conversations and amid the enchantments of the marvelous landscape, they arrive at Como, where at the landing the guests bid farewell to the new Rotarians of Como, to whom they express words of gratitude for the beautiful day spent together.
