The MCAA Industry Tour to Italy will include a visit to Venice.

MCAA President Frank Campitelli announced that the association is planning an industry tour to Italy next October 1 thru the 9th, 2007 with a stop at the Verona Stone Show.

The tour to Italy will jump off after the MCAA Midyear Meeting that is being planned for Baltimore on September 29, 2006. The tour will include visits to Venice, Verona, Florence and Rome. Planning has begun for the tour and the program is being developed with details being announced later this year. Some of the highlights will include a visit to the Marmonmacc (Verona) Stone Show which is one of the world's largest stone shows. In addition, masonry educational tours will be offered in Venice, Florence and Rome.

MCAA members are encouraged to let the association know if you may be interested in participating in the tour for next October. E-mail MCAA Executive Director Mike Adelizzi at madelizzi@masoncontractors.org.
