April 25th 2022
On the occasion of Liberation Day, Monte Sole awaits you and hopes to welcome you in large numbers!
ACTIVITIES IN ITALIAN
And since we spent 2 full years apart, we decided to double down: activites, events and music are waiting for you also on the 24th!
We remind you that on April 25 the free shuttle service from the Pian di Venola train station will be available from 10.00 to 20.00.

“Italy repudiates war as an instrument of offense against the freedom of other people and as a means of settling international disputes.”
Since 2020 the Scuola di Pace works on the European project So-Close. Enhancing Social Cohesion through Sharing the Cultural Heritage of Forced Migrations.
Building on theories of cultural heritage creation, aiming to capitalize on the shared elements between past and present experiences, So-Close aims to improve social cohesion and promote mutual understanding between migrants – especially asylum seekers and refugees – and their local communities.
In this context, the Liberation Day 2022 at the Scuola di Pace wants to start from the traumatic experiences of those who suffered in Monte Sole to listen to the close memories and distant stories that migrant people bring with them.
