Сотрудников компаний КПО и КИОС Джакомо ТОНЬОЛИ, Луку АФФЕДЕ, Лоренцо МОНТАНАРО и Джованни РИТА связывает не только давняя дружба, но и любовь к мотоциклам. На своих байках они объехали весь Старый Свет, побывали в пустынях Африки. Нынешний мотопробег, который стартует в Милане 15 июня и завершится через пять дней в Аксае ЗКО, друзья решили сделать благотворительным и посвятить его детям.

Как рассказал Джакомо ТОНЬОЛИ, руководитель отдела скважинных операций компании КПО, четверка байкеров приедет в Аксай на рабочую вахту своим ходом, а по окончании вахты они вернутся в Италию тем же путем. Сэкономленные деньги от авиаперелета, а также спонсорская помощь компаний-подрядчиков и индивидуальные пожертвования друзья решили передать детскому дому-интернату в селе Бурлин и интернату при аксайской школе №5.

За две недели мотопробега, а столько по времени продлится путь туда-обратно, итальянцы преодолеют порядка 10 тысяч километров и проедут через 15 стран. Их маршрут будет проходить через Словению, Венгрию, Польшу, Белоруссию, Россию, а из Казахстана байкеры уже будут ехать через Кавказ, Турцию, Балканы, Грецию.
-20 июня мы планируем заехать в Уральск, - рассказал Джакомо ТОНЬОЛИ.
