Pisa commemorates Major Gian Paolo Gamerra

More than 110 students participated in a ceremony in Pisa to commemorate the 83rd anniversary of the death of Major Gian Paolo Gamerra, a recipient of the Gold Medal for Military Valor. The event, held at the Riglione cemetery, was organized by the Municipality of Pisa and the Associazione Artiglieri.

Civil and military authorities, along with various associations, attended the commemoration. Students from the Gian Paolo Gamerra middle school and members of the Leonardo Fibonacci Comprehensive Institute orchestra provided musical performances.
