Our Current Sister Cities

Our newest Sister City, Farindola, Italy, joined us on November 29, 2019. Farindola's origins date to 1480 when the prior town Farina moved there. It sits on the edge of a national park with a waterfall outside town where the original 11th cent Farina stood. Farindola is our fourth sister city.
