This is the story of two cities on two continents brought together by a visionary corporate executive and a mutual love of onions. In December, if all goes according to plan, Walla Walla, Wash., famous for the sweet onion that bears its name, will sign an agreement with Cannara, a small town in central Umbria, to become sister cities.
The new sister-city relationship was sparked by the intercession of Antonio Baldaccini, CEO of UmbraGroup, whose subsidiary Umbra Cuscinetti Inc., an aerospace parts company and Boeing supplier, is located north of Seattle.
