Fenano, Italy, and its sister city in Alaska have more in common than a link to the prospector who discovered gold here in 1902. There's also hockey, industrial sprockets and parmesan cheese. This week, Fairbanks hosted seven guests from Fenano, including town mayor Stefano Muzzarelli, his tourism minister and several hockey players and figure skaters.
Their itinerary included the usual Fairbanks winter tourism spots like Chena Hot Springs Resort, plus some perks that came with being a sister city delegation on tour. They got to see a F-16 fighter jet up close at Eielson Air Force Base and tour the Fort Knox Gold Mine.
