The year 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of Italy’s Liberation from Nazi-Fascism, a crucial moment in our history that marked the country’s democratic rebirth. The Municipality of Reggello, on the occasion of this anniversary, is promoting a calendar of initiatives designed to reflect, share and renew the founding values of the Resistance: freedom, justice and participation.
A valuable opportunity to come together as a community and pay tribute to those who, with courage and determination, fought for a better future.
