On October 1st, 2025, Balsamo had the pleasure of taking part as partner and sponsor in a prestigious institutional event held at the Military Airport of Linate. The setting, with its aircraft on display and the historical atmosphere of the airbase, provided a striking and symbolic backdrop for the evening.
The initiative, promoted by the Consular Group of Latin America and the Caribbean in Northern Italy in collaboration with the Air Squadron Command – 1st Air Region of the Italian Air Force, gathered the Prefects of all Lombardy provinces along with numerous international delegations, highlighting the diplomatic relevance of the occasion. More than 200 guests attended the Gala Cocktail and Award Ceremony, during which Ambassador Juan Carlos Castrillón J., President of the Consular Group, presented the Friendship Award of the Consular Group to the attending authorities.
Before the official proceedings began, the event opened with a moment of silence and remembrance in honor of the victims of the tragic Italian Air Force accident in Latina, which had occurred earlier that same day. A gesture of deep respect that united all participants — civil and military — in a shared sense of mourning and solidarity.
As an official partner, Balsamo managed the dedicated mobility service for guests, providing an efficient and discreet shuttle system within the airport area. This collaboration once again demonstrated our ability to ensure the highest operational standards in complex and institutional contexts, reaffirming our expertise in the diplomatic sector, an area in which our Rome office has long been recognized as a trusted reference point.
Our Chairman, Pietro Trapletti, attended the event, representing the company and strengthening our long-standing relationship with the Latin American diplomatic community. The evening unfolded in an atmosphere of cordiality and mutual respect, underlining the importance of building strong and meaningful connections between institutions and private partners.
Balsamo’s participation in this prestigious event reflects our ongoing commitment to consolidating our role as a reliable partner in international and diplomatic environments, where operational excellence, discretion, and institutional representation remain the cornerstones of our identity.
