Since the planting on 9 March 2008, in Castegnato, Brescia, peace march in Franciacorta has been held every year when plantings take place in the Province of Brescia.
Although it rained this year, children marched on the street in the morning led by cars holding the edges of the large “PACE” flag of 10×20 meters. Many people stood along the street holding banners with messages, who brought additional excitement to the march. The mayor of Castegnato and the chairman of children’s congress also took part in. Unfortunately, Dr. Ebinuma and Mr. Takashisa Araki could participate in the peace march for only a brief time period as they had just come in from Trieste on the same morning.
A debriefing session was held after the march.
At the session, songs were performed by children and locals were informed of the meaning of the peace march.
