The Addison Sister Cities with Triggiano, Italy, is a non-profit organization program that strives to create and strengthen cultural exchanges. An agreement signed in 2003 was to encourage friendship and understanding between Addison and Triggiano. To date, Addison Trail has had about 50 students participate in the program.
The Addison Sister Cities Committee continues to raise funds to help offset the costs of hosting the Italian students and to provide scholarships for Addison Trail students to travel to Italy. The remaining costs are funded by the students and their families. Addison Trail will welcome visitors from Italy in October, and Addison Trail students and staff will go to Italy this spring. If you’re interested in joining the Addison Sister Cities Committee, or for more information about the program, contact Marianne Fotopoulos with the Village of Addison at mfotopoulos@addison-il.org.
