On December 16, the final event for the celebrations related to the fifth anniversary since the birth of MASTERY™ and the MAS Method – Moving Action Surprise System© was held at the B&B La Corte Country House in Fermo.
Introducing the evening was the screening of a video that recalled the five years of MASTERY™: the story of its successes and projects related to the immediate future. The people who took part in the video explained why they chose the MAS Method and its importance in their personal experiences.
The introductory video was followed by greetings to the participants from Mr. Remo Grassetti, Head Master of MASTERY™, and Dr. Aldo Pigoli, General Manager of MASTERY™. With their words, they have retraced the steps that go from the birth of MASTERY™ to the extraordinary development of this five year period, due to the people who have participated and contributed to this path. The defendants were also welcomed by greetings and wishes of the institutional, political and academic authorities.
Entering the evening, Dr. Aldo Pigoli presented the activities carried out by MASTERY™ during the year that is about to be concluded and the results that have been achieved in all the sectors in which MASTERY™ is involved.
At the end of the presentation, there was a ceremony to award the praise that MASTERY™ wanted to recognize to the people who have distinguished themselves for their commitment in the development and dissemination of the MAS Method.
To receive the recognition were Major General Maurizio Leoni, former Commander of Command C4 Defence, Major General Augusto Staccioli, former Director of the School of Foreign Languages of the Army (SLEE) and prominent figure of the Folgore, and Air Marshall Pierluigi Leonarduzzi, Director of the Institute for Advanced Defence Studies (IASD).
