US Consul Cederberg Highlights Italy–United States Ties at Gallerie d'Italia

Milan, April 27, 2026 — Speaking at the presentation of journalist Danilo Taino's book Il Secolo Atlantico at the Gallerie d'Italia, US Consul Daniel Cederberg stressed the depth of the Italy–United States relationship, noting it is built "not only by presidents, policies and programs, but also by people, products and a shared heritage."

The event, which opened the book tour marking AmCham Italy's 110th anniversary, highlighted key aspects of the transatlantic bond—from cultural exchange to economic and industrial cooperation—with particular attention to Turin's role in Italy's modernization.

• Historical foundations: the postwar era and the Marshall Plan are seen as pivotal in rebuilding and fostering growth.
• Cultural exchange: Italian-Americans shaped US culture while the United States introduced innovations and organizational models to Italy.
• Economic dimension: business links and technology transfer supported sectoral modernization; Turin is noted for industrial learning, including references to Fiat.
• Focus on individuals: the book emphasizes personal stories that contributed to the relationship, beyond institutional strategies.

Author Danilo Taino highlighted that the relationship transcends politics and is driven by initiatives, entrepreneurs and shared values. The presentation reaffirmed the continuing relevance of the transatlantic partnership on cultural and economic fronts.
