We visited the Casa della Cultura e della Memoria, took part in the wreath-laying ceremony at the Sacrario dei Caduti, and joined the many people gathering in the Monte Sole Historical Park. From guided tours to concerts, from remembrance sites to a photo exhibition by Giulio Di Meo, it was a full day that showed how memory can take many forms, each of them valuable as long as they are shared.
