The ‘Giro d’Italia per la Pace’ is a movement organized by the National Coordination of Local Authorities for Peace and Human Rights, centered around the ‘Lampada della Pace’ (Lamp of Peace). The initiative connects various Italian municipalities through symbolic journeys and community engagement to establish participating cities as permanent centers for peace education and dialogue. Promoted by the Fondazione Perugia Assisi to commemorate the eighth centenary of Saint Francis of Assisi’s journey, the project involves various local programs. In Rosate, preparatory meetings are set for September 16 and 20, featuring reflections led by Pax Christi Italia, with an official march through the town’s main streets scheduled for October 4, 2026. In the Treviso area, the initiative includes school-focused activities in Zero Branco and Quinto di Treviso. The program ‘Cuciamo la pace’ engages primary and secondary students in reflection and participation exercises to promote civic responsibility and collaboration at the start of the school year. As the tour progresses, the lamp has reached several cities. In Ancona, the ceremony ‘Francesco e il mare dell’incontro’ took place at Banchina San Francesco. During the event, Mayor Daniele Silvetti advocated for authentic integration in schools, emphasizing social harmony. In Modena, Mayor Massimo Mezzetti welcomed the lamp alongside students, citing Nelson Mandela’s reconciliation efforts as a model for non-violence. In Reggio Emilia, Mayor Marco Massari lit the lamp in a ceremony with students and educators, followed by a peace march to the Giardino dei Giusti. ## Claims - The Giro d’Italia per la Pace is promoted by the National Coordination of Local Authorities for Peace and Human Rights and the National Network of Peace Schools.
