The City of Duncanville Mayor Greg Contreras welcomed Mayor Giorgio Alberione and a delegation of over 20 representatives from its Sister City, Comune di Monasterolo di Savigliano, located in the Province of Cuneo in the Piedmont region of Italy. The visit took place October 14 through 24, 2025, as part of the ongoing Sister City partnership that celebrates friendship, cultural exchange, and international goodwill.
The Sister City relationship between Duncanville and Monasterolo di Savigliano began in the mid-1990s through a friendship between Drs. Nancy and Cecil Wood of Duncanville and physicist Dario Crosetto, a Monasterolo native formerly with the Super Collider project. Formalized in 1998 under then-Mayor Glenn Repp, the partnership has since included numerous visits, cultural exchanges, and a mutual dedication to strengthening ties between the two communities.
