The contribution provided by the Sodalizio photographer Rodolfo Morbidelli for the research and preparation of the photographic material and by the Santa Rosa Study Center for the recovery of documents and relics was invaluable. In addition to the Diocese of Viterbo, the Municipality, the Province, ENIT, the Carivit Foundation and GRAMAS also shared and strengthened the importance of the event.
