Although Tollo is world-renowned for its food and wine traditions, the small town of 4,000 inhabitants is also known for its connection to the late and great global baseball spokesman Tommy Lasorda, who lived in Fullerton, California for nearly sixty years and whose parents hailed from this quaint mountain village in Abruzzo.

A large delegation from Fullerton, led by former Mayor and current city council member Bruce Whitaker, Laura Lasorda, daughter of Tommy and Jo Lasorda, Roberto Angotti, official ambassador and promoter of the Sister City agreement between the two cities, and members of the Fullerton Sister City Association were guests of Tollo Mayor Angelo Radica to celebrate the Sister City agreement.
