Cento anni

Initiatives and projects for the 100th anniversary of the “Campana dei Caduti” Maria Dolens

A century after the intuition of Don Antonio Rossaro, who forged a symbol of Peace out of the bronze of cannons that had fired at each other, the message of Maria Dolens is more relevant than ever and will be declined in a rich programme of events that will cover the whole of 2025.
