Ms. Tiziana Volta has initiated a number of plantings, including at Ristorante “Castello Malvezzi” in Giuseppe, Brescia, Italy (21 February 2009), Scuola secondaria di primo grado Giosue Carducci in L’Aquila, Italy (2 April 2011), as well as three plantings in 2012 at Parco San Giovanni in Trieste (14 April), Conservatorio Botanico della Valle D’Itria in Brindisi, Italy (24 April), and the Garden of Peace and Hope for Kabul at the ”Kabul National Gallery” in Kabul, Afghanistan (9 June). She was looking for the appropriate planting sites for the tree of peace with conditions of “bringing peace or contributing to plant diversity,” and has yet again found the suitable places. This year she has chosen three sites, namely, Lorusso and Cutugno Prison in Torino, Amphitheater of the Peace in Venaus and Park Sarah in Riace.
Lorusso and Cutugno Prison was established in 1986, and then in 1995, the Arcobaleno section, which is dedicated for addicts, was built. The female section was built in 1999. It is a small section with the maximum capacity of 10 prisoners, for those females who intend to undergo rehabilitation.
Mr. Francesco from Brescia also attended the tree-planting ceremony on 28 March, and first a briefing on the Project took place inside the facility. Chorus was performed outside, and they planted the kaki tree.
