Agrigento was designated the Italian Capital of Culture for 2025.
The Embassy was represented by Political Counsellor and Head of Territorial Diplomacy Giorgio Cavalieri, who met with Jeoung Mi Young, Head of the Gyeongju International Cooperation Office. Also present at the meeting were Fabrizio La Gaipa, by proxy of the Mayor of Agrigento, Ferdinando Gueli, Director of the Foreign Trade Institute in the Republic of Korea, and Jessica Yoo Seung Hee, an Embassy official expert in conventions between territorial authorities.
