"Fate, desperation, intrigues, oppression, war, pollution.
Resistance against everything that takes away life and happiness from human beings, that weakens humanity´s vital force: this is the rebirth of our life."
Daisaku Ikeda

The Walk for Peace and Freedom saw the participation of Centro Studi per la Pace Onlus (Centre for Peace Studies) and all its members, who marched for nine kilometres to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the first Nazi retaliation against the population that slaughtered 23 citizens and burned 300 houses on September 19th 1943 in Boves (CN).
When the Caravan arrived, the Mayor of Boves Mario Giuliano and the Mayor of Stazzema Michele Silicani made a speech, at the end of which the honour Freedom of the City was bestowed upon the partisan priest, deviser and promoter of today´s event, Don Aldo Benevelli.
