In the spirit of continued collaboration and friendship, Rehoboth Beach officials and their counterparts from Italian sister city Greve-in-Chianti recently celebrated the future placement of a terracotta fountain in Cranberry Park’s Garden of the Navigators.

The two communities have been sister cities since 2010. Greve is believed to be the birthplace of 16th century explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, who explored the Delaware coastline in 1524. The fountain has been created by terracotta artist Enzo Zago and was made as a gift to Rehoboth.
