THE HISTORY OF DISTRICT 2090,
Italy and Albania
A Part of Our History of Rotary in
EUROPE
Prepared by the district and not verified by Rotary Global History
 
 The District 2090, which includes four Italian regions (Abruzzo, the Marche, Molise
and Umbria) and a foreign country - Albania - was born in 1984-'85 as a result of division by the then District 208, which
included Lazio, Sardinia, Umbria, Marches, Abruzzo and Molise.
The division entrusted to the District 208, Lazio and Sardinia, giving the new District 209 the remaining territory
where Rotary was already adequately spread with Clubs present and operating in four regions.
The current name of District 2090 was necessary as a result of computerization of the entire management system, which
required the inclusion of four-digit numbers for all districts in the world.
The first club established in the District of Perugia, was created in 1936, closed in 1938, and reconstituted in1948.
In the same year was born the club Ancona.
In 1953 another five Club had already arisen:- L'Aquila, Terni, Orvieto, Pesaro and Pescara.
