 | | The Istituto Idrografico della Marina, tasked for 134 years with the State hydrographic service, in order to highlight the political, industrial, economic and scientific relevance of such event, has grouped in a single day a number of significant events. |
 | | These span from the stipulation of a technical-scientific agreement with the Agency for Environmental Protection and for Technical Services (APAT), to the laying of a wreath at Staglieno monumental cemetery, on the tomb of Admiral Giovan Battista Magnaghi, the father of Italian Hydrography, whose demise took place on 21 June 1902. |
 | | Further prestige was bestowed to the celebration by the intervention of Admiral Giuseppe Angrisano, former director of the Istituto Idrografico della Marina and former president of the International Hydrographic Bureau. |
