Vicini Americani (VA), directly translating to "American neighbors", partnered with various organizations and agencies from around the 31st Fighter Wing to bring the installation and local Italian communities together in all new ways.
Established in 2019, VA is a purely volunteer-based organization at Aviano AB made up of Americans and Italians. Membership includes active duty service members, spouses and dependents over 18, civilians, government service (GS) employees, local nationals, retirees, honorary squadron commanders and everyone in between.
