Especially, I take the opportunity to greet and thank general secretary Maurizio Ievolella. Together we have planned the idea to develop the Port of Civitavecchia [...]

"My decision to take a step back is exclusively personal. The attempts to slid mud on me are negatively affecting the port, and I can surely not manage at best the Port of Civitavecchia if 85% of my time I have to defend myself.

Almirant Dell’Anna is a prestigious figure: I am sure through the next months he will do a great job leading the Port Authority to the next reform".

We must look at facts and not to chatter or lies moved only by filthy lucre. The armies that are attacking us now are far away from here and are only an instrument of a fight for someone else's interests. [..]

During these years, in fact, we have created a valuable pool able to serve the Port of Civitavecchia 365. […]".

To end up, Almirant Ilario Dell’Anna said goodbye to everybody in the conference room:

"I take the opportunity to send my best regards to all Port Authority employees and to everybody present.

“I am happy and honoured of this position. It arrives at the end of my career, but at a very important moment, since we are at the eve of a new reform of the port system. This fact makes my role even more prestigious and I can guarantee that my effort will be the maximum."
