Andra Tutto Bene

"Andrà Tutto Bene"

In 2016, Roselle Park New Jersey USA and Arpino Italy officially became Sister/Twin Cities. Arpino, the "Città de Arte" or City of Art welcomed the relationship with open arms. Their historical, industrial and artistic importance to the Italian history in many ways mirrors the historical significance of Roselle Park to our state and county.

Coronavirus Pandemic joins Sister Cities is a demonstration of
Unity, Compassion and Solidarity
"As Italy adjusts to life under emergency quarantine measures, there's a feeling of calm and solidarity between people around the country which is best summed up by this Italian phrase. Pictures bearing the slogan "Andrà Tutto Bene – everything will be alright "– are all over Italian social media today as people seek to reassure each other and brighten up days spent at home under quarantine". - The Local It, March 12, 2020

We reached out to Arpino, Italy's Councilman Francesco Rabotti. He reached out to Mayor Renato Rea and the Arpino municipal administration are also encouraging their children and parents to make rainbow posters with "Andrà Tutto Bene Roselle Park NJ "

Likewise, we are encouraging the Roselle Park children and adults to do the same with rainbow posters with "Andrà Tutto Bene, Arpino Italy" on them to reenforce hope and celebrate our twin city communities. Together, Parkers and Arpinati will overcome this crisis as one.
