Suffolk (VA) and Oderzo (Veneto), Italy celebrates longtime cross seas union

By: James W. Robinson

Suffolk Sister Cities International welcomes special guests from Oderzo, Italy, on Saturday to celebrate 30 years of friendship. Italian Artist Ezio Burigana and his family came together with Suffolk officials during a special Obici-Oderzo Foundation Rededication held on Saturday, July 27, at Foundation Park near Mills E. Godwin Courthouse.

Held alongside members of Suffolk City Council, Suffolk Sister Cities Commission and fellow esteemed city officials, Burigana unveiled a new version of the mosaic fountain he created for the city’s courtyard.  Burigana has had art exhibitions worldwide since his first exhibition in 1962 at the Venice Biennale, with works found in Oderzo, Venice, Ponte di Piave, Belluno, Los Angeles and Suffolk.
