Consolato Generale d’Italia a Toronto
Edmontonians are encouraged to keep their eyes on the sky today as they will witness an aerial showcase.
The Italian Air Force aerobatic team, known as Frecce Tricolori, is touring Canada and the United States this summer for the first time in more than 30 years. The multifaceted tour will include a series of events and flyovers, including one over Edmonton.
“The North America Tour will be an opportunity to organize a redeployment thousands of kilometres away from Italy and to share the values, technology, professionalism and teamwork skills of the Italian Air Force,” according to the consulate general of Italy in Toronto.
The tour began earlier this summer with a performance on June 22 in Bagotville, Quebec, to celebrate with Canada and mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Airforce.
Vancouver residents were treated to the spectacular display on Tuesday by the Italian Air Force.
The aerobatics team will fly over Edmonton today and then head to Cold Lake for performances on July 20 and 21.
