It’s a’special meetingthe one that will be on stage from 10 to 12 May in Vicenza. A bit about the numbers: they will be in the city 400 thousand people will be present, while 80 thousand will take part in the procession on Sunday. If not a record, we’re close. A little for the very soul of the Alpini, who in the Vicenza area will find – by admission of the national president of the ANA, Sebastiano Favero – the very roots of the Corps. The 95th edition of the gathering will have a special slogan, given the dramatic international context: «The Alpine troops’ dream of peace.” And there will be many messages and appeals, during the commemorations and scheduled events, to that peace that has continuously been questioned, especially for the past two years.
On newsstands
Corriere del Veneto will report on the meeting with two special inserts, on newsstands on May 10th and 12th. A voyage in the event itself, but above all in history and the characters who represented and still represent a Corps constantly evolving, and made up of professionals who are increasingly prepared to face emergencies alongside citizens. The men, women in service, the “veci” and the “bocia” in the square today to remember and celebrate. In a VicenzaMoreover, who paid an enormous price in blood during the Great War and the Second World War. And that in the logo of the event (a heart divided into four, surmounted by the classic black pen) wants to honor the four Ossuary Shrines of the province: Pasubio, Monte Grappa, Monte Cimone and Asiago. Looking to the future without forgetting the past.
