excellent opportunity to take advantage of the peace and tranquillity of the sea, a protected pedestrian area, clean beaches and crystal-clear waters, just an hour’s drive away from Rome.

“We are proud to have installed our free HotSpots in the Pirgo area,” said Joe Brunoli, Vice President of HotSpot Market Development for free-hotspot.com. “A popular tourist port is an ideal beginning to the summer period as we can contribute to providing a communications service to the local inhabitants and the many European tourists who visit the Pirgo every year. In 2007, almost 3,000,000 people are expected to pass through the port of Civitavecchia, and these visitors will be now able to take advantage of our FREE Wi-Fi service,” he concluded.

“Our association aims to promote the visibility of the Pirgo as a destination par excellence through the implementation of various initiatives: it comes as no surprise that the creation of a free Wi-Fi connection zone for local inhabitants and tourists throughout the area was one of the first projects on the agenda. The subsequent choice of free-hotspot.com as the service provider was natural, considering the quality and reliability of the services provided by Europe’s leading company”, added Angelo Fanton, Chairman of the Pirgo Cultural Association.

About the Pirgo Cultural Association:
The Pirgo Cultural Association was established very recently as a result of the desire of the operators and inhabitants of the area to restore this delightful enclave on the Lazio coast and reinstate the splendour of the seaside tradition in the area through a modern approach. This has been done by means of environmental preservation and development, creating cultural and educational opportunities, improving relations between the local inhabitants and their territory, the expansion and perception of the Pirgo as a leisure destination par excellence, the improved use of facilities, and the ongoing improvement of the quality of services. The aim is to provide visitors from Rome or any part of the world with the certainty of being able to spend some time in a very special place.
