Mura is a peaceful village that is situated 20km from the Lake Idro and surrounded by beautiful mountains.
The principal of “G. Marconi” Primary School applied for the planting, but the actual planting site was the park near the Catholic Church in the village.
The park has fertile land, and many trees and flowers are growing well.
The tree planting ceremony began off with Banda Musicale di Casto’s “Ode to Joy.” Dott. Andrea Crescini made a speech, and it was followed by primary school pupils’ singing. Then, Prof. ssa Mariuccia Mascadri, Principal of “G. Marconi” Primary School, offered a few words. After kindergarten children and primary school pupils read their poems and performed songs, Dr. Ebinuma made a speech.
While Banda Musicale di Casto played music, the planting took place.
They placed prettily colored stones that were bigger than adult’s hand and put up a nice signboard. On the signboard, the following message in Italian, English and Japanese are written, “It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in peace. One must to work at it” (Eleanor Roosevelt).
