Folgore between past and present

Saint Michael the Archangel wishes to all Parachutists in Italy, of every era and generation.
May our Patron Saint continue to protect and guide us with strength, courage and faith. Today, 29 September, we celebrate with Our Dedication and Our Spirit, St Michael the Archangel. Let us honour those who were, who are and who will be part of this Glorious Tradition, with a thought and a prayer for those who are no longer with us physically, but are with us in our hearts.

FOLGORE!!!
