Consul General Massimo Carnelos successfully completed his first diplomatic mission to the Pacific Northwest, with visits to the states of Washington, Montana, and Idaho, further strengthening Italy’s commitment to deepening economic, cultural, academic, and technological ties across the region.
The Consul General expressed his profound gratitude to Honorary Consul in Seattle Elisabetta Valentini, Consular Correspondent in Montana Elvira Roncalli, and Honorary Consul in Idaho Ron Gambassi for their exceptional support and dedication throughout the mission.
The Pacific Northwest is home to both established and emerging economic, political, and academic institutions, offering significant opportunities for collaboration with Italy and avenues to celebrate shared history and cultural values. The Consul General looks forward to building on these foundations and strengthening partnerships through future missions across his consular jurisdiction.
