We missed this ceremony two years in a row because we were out of town, but we finally got it again.
Last Wednesday the mayor of Livorno, Filippo Nogarin, and the the Admiral Maurizio Ertreo, commander of the Naval Academy, welcomed the delegations of the foreign Navies present to the 32nd TAN with a simple ceremony accompanied by the Navy brass band.
The cadets of every Navy draped their flags on the marble staircase of Town Hall.

Quite a collection, and I see my Maple Leaf among them.
I missed my Stars & Stripes, but at least I saw a star and a whole bunch of stripes. :-)
Very impressive!
It is very colorful, VP.
Foreign Navies coming in peace is always something to celebrate.
Judging by your photos it has been a beautiful ceremony.
There's a very familiar flag over there! :-)
A wonderful ceremony! Nice to see the Maple Leaf in there! ;-)
Looks good with the flags lined up there VP, glad you made it this year.
love to see all the different flags!
Flags are visual and wonderful symbols for countries, states, and organizations.
I love the colors and the flags!
