The red coral of Alghero from the depths of the sea to the edge of space. It was Lieutenant Colonel Angelo Landolfi , from the crew of Virgin Galactic's suborbital flight on June 29, who brought back an "A"-shaped red gold jewel that the aerospace doctor originally from Cagliari, but with strong ties to Alghero , he had brought with him on the mission.
This morning the jewel was delivered directly into the hands of Mayor Mario Conoci and will soon be exhibited in the city's Coral Museum.
Also present at the meeting, which took place in Porta Terra, were the president of the Regional Council of Sardinia Michele Pais, the president of the Alghero Foundation, Andrea Delogu, the lieutenant colonel of the Air Force Alessandro Magrini with the first lieutenant Rino Gaias and Umberto Borlotti, former director of Sogeaal, the one who had the idea of bringing the coral of Alghero into Space.
