In a cultural event rarely, if ever, seen at a Kendallville City Council meeting, a delegation from Levone, Italy, including Mayor Maurizio Giacoletto exchanged gifts with Mayor Suzanne Handshoe and council members April 2, acknowledging a bond of friendship between the communities.
This was the fifth exchange trip between residents from Levone and residents from northeastern Indiana, who last visited Levone in 2011. This was the first time the Italian visitors were welcomed and honored at a City Council meeting. Levone is a town of about 400 residents in northern Italy near the Alps.
