Pescara is a small town at the Italian Adriatic sea. It is very popular among Italians especially in the summertime due to its long, white sandy beaches. In 2009 it became the venue of the 16th Mediterranean Games. For this event it was necessary, however, to elaborately refurbish parts of the big and legendary swimming facility "Le Naiadi". Products of PCI were thus part of the preparations for this sporting event of the year in the Mediterranean area carried through under the auspices of the Olympic Committee.
