In the capital of Bashkortostan, Francesca was met by a delegation of locals and Italians who have been living and working in Ufa for a long time.
“Francesca is very fond of Ufa. She said that our city was clean and nice. She liked beautiful old buildings here, many monuments in the center and a pedestrian street”, the Ufa resident Ruslan Rakhimov shared on social networks. “We taught her to say the word“ Ufa” in the Bashkir language, showed how the kurai sounds, showed the national ornaments.”
