Franciacorta Peace March 2013 started from Berlingo.
Berlingo Mayor (at that time) met Mr.Francesco Foletti in December 2012 and told that he wished to plant the “sapling from the bombed kaki tree” in 2014. Unfortunately, the then Mayor passed away due to a tragic accident a few days later. When Mr. Foletti learned about the incident, he contacted the Kaki Tree Project head office. We asked Dr. Ebinuma for a special permission and the tree presentation ceremony to the town of Berlingo was planned to express condolences for the former Mayor. The former Mayor’s wife and children attended the ceremony on 7 April.
After the tree presentation ceremony, the Franciacorta Peace March started. With a leading car which was carrying the “Pace (peace)” flag, many children and adults marched through the town for about three hours holding and carrying the big PACE flag. All the participants held their hands and prayed for peace on the way.
The March went on and police cars also joined the front of it and arrived at the Don Angelo Colombo Foundation.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the former Mayor of Berlingo.
