Finmeccanica Gala for Mwana Simba 

Last night, in the beautiful location of the Petit Palais in the heart of Paris was held the Finmeccanica Gala Evening during the 48th edition of the Paris International Air Show- Le Bourget.
 
The Petit Palais was created for the Universal Exposition of 1900 as a city museum in which to showcase the works bought from the yearly Salons. With its rich artistic and cultural displays, the Petit Palais was officially opened on December 11, 1902.
 
The event, called Mwana Simba, was dedicated to the three important projects that Finmeccanica is undertaking in Africa to help train young people. The countries where the Group is focusing its attention are Congo, Nigeria and Cameroon; last night, the three responsible of those projects presented the first results and the next goals to be pursued.
 
Minister Ignazio La Russa and Minister Roberto Maroni also participated at the event as special guests.
