(05 Jun 10) Under the wonderful sun of a very hot month of June, the photovoltaic roof of the Park Authority Head Offices of Villa Binotto in Feltre was inaugurated.

In front of a number of local administrators and the representatives of Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, the mayor of Feltre sen. Gianvittore Vaccari and the Park Authority Commissioner prof. Benedetto Fiori, inaugurated the latest measure of the "fossil free" project carried out by the Park.
