A few dozen people gathered at a picnic Tuesday evening at the Suffolk Visitor Center Pavilion to meet several guests of honor. The Suffolk Sister Cities group held the membership picnic for members to meet the three members of the Italian youth delegation who are visiting Suffolk this month.
Giacomo Matera and twins Daniele and Riccardo Barro, all 17, are visiting Suffolk for a couple of weeks from Oderzo, its sister city in Italy. Oderzo is the hometown of Amedeo Obici, the businessman and Suffolk benefactor who founded Planters Peanuts after immigrating to America and named Louise Obici Memorial Hospital after his wife.
