MESSAGGERO - Prezza - Abruzzese the new RedCoats head / Il nuovo capo delle leggendarie Giubbe Rosse, by Sante Iavarone
Giuliano Zaccardelli, 53, born in Prezza, is at the head of the Canadian Federal Police. Some months ago he was appointed vice, and now head of the Redcoats. Giuliano's appointment is a great achievement for Italians in Canada. His father Mario left Prezza when Giuliano was only 2-3 years old. Giuliano is now the loyal subject of another country, which he loves deeply as his emigrant father taught him.
