On May the 30th, the "Incontri in Blu" event (which in Italian literally means "Meetings in Blue") will actually be "dyed Pink" by Cecilia Eckelmann Battistello, who had already given a pink touch to her container ships back in the days, and her trains and trucks today, establishing her leadership in the shipping and logistics world, traditionally led by male figures.
