Commissioner of the Port Authority of Civitavecchia, Fiumicino and Gaeta

"Civitavecchia Port is a strategic base of our links in the Mediterranean. With this new line, we intend to strengthen and improve the service on a historically primary route for connections with Sardinia, as Civitavecchia is not only the natural harbor of Rome, but also insists on a population area that embraces the Central and Southern Italy."
