The community, located in Italy's Tuscany region, is Carmel's fourth Sister City.
That means the communities will promote"international goodwill, understanding, student educational exchanges and expanded business relationships between the two cities and their respective nations," according to a news release from the office of Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard.
Brainard met with Cortona Mayor Luciano Meoni last week to sign the agreement, according to the news release. Cortona is now Carmel's fourth international Sister City. It also has similar relationships with Kawachinagano, Osaka, Japan; Xiangyang, Hubei, China; and Jelgava, Latvia — with which it established a relationship earlier this year.
Carmel is currently looking for volunteers to serve on a new not-for-profit Sister Cities Committee as a result of the new relationship. Anyone interested is urged to attend a town hall meeting at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 14 at Carmel City Hall, 1 Civic Square.
