All Rights Reserved. The Victorian summer lights up with Cinema in the Park, the open-air film festival starting on Thursday 15 June 2023 in Ceneda on the Papadopoli Park platform. This year’s programme, intended especially for families, offers titles of great interest. The event is organised in cooperation between the Municipality of Vittorio Veneto, the Pro Loco of Revine Lago and Piattaforma Lago – a network of cultural projects. The organisation of Cinema al Parco is supported by the Vittorio Veneto Library, the Municipal Summer Centres and the associations Ceneda Insieme, Le Mamme di Ceneda, (Ri)Datti Una Mossa and Comitato Festeggiamenti di Santa Augusta. “The administration,” Uliana concludes, “wants to make Cinema in the Park and Papadopoli Park a symbolic event and place of activities for families, children and people of all ages, enhancing the magic of a place that, due to its natural setting, can be enjoyed both during the day and in the evening”. The programme runs over five consecutive Thursdays, at 9 p.m. The films are mainly products for children, but are also suitable for an adult audience, due to the themes dealt with and the important productions. Admission costs EUR 3. The selection aimed at adults and children (with a special screening for children on 29 June) includes great classics, restored gems, and the successes of recent years, also thanks to the collaboration with the Cineteca di Bologna. The theme of space will accompany spectators for two evenings, who, thanks to “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” and “WALL-E”, will find themselves looking at the sky with a different gaze – a theme in collaboration with the Municipal Summer Centres. In the event of bad weather, the screening will take place at the Civic Library.

armistice that ended World War I a local Italian-American heritage organization will lay flowers at the Wooster grave of First Lt during the Battle of Vittorio Veneto in Italy The bomber pilot was killed when his plane was shot down in the final days of World War I a WWI aviation historical researcher who lives in Vittorio Veneto emailed the Daily Record last month seeking someone in Wooster to place flowers on Bahl’s Wooster grave while he organized a minute of silence for Bahl and his crew on the day of his death Vittorio Veneto is in the northern Italian village near the Austrian border Amici Italiani offered to fulfill Marinello’s request to put flowers on his grave he “gave the ultimate sacrifice for Italy,” said Amici Italiani board member Harry Tomassetti “Our organization is based on the Italian heritage of Wayne County he is deserving of our acknowledgment here,” Tomassetti said He grew up on West Larwill Street and attended school in Wooster before going to college in Indiana He was working in Cleveland as a private secretary for Samuel Mather of Pickands Mather & Co when he was called into service with the machine gun company of the Fifth Regiment of the Ohio National Guard He later became part of the 332nd Infantry Regiment Army that was part of the 83rd Infantry Division The regiment formed in August 1917 at Camp Sherman They departed for Europe in June 1918 and arrived in Italy via England and France a month later Bahl was a pilot in a four-man crew that also included first pilot Lt Coleman Dewitt of New Jersey and their Italian crewmen They were conducting a daytime bombing mission of an Austrian munitions plant on Oct was attacked and shot down by five Austrian fighters Austrian soldiers robbed the bodies of the crew and refused to allow the four bodies to be buried Norman Sweetser described how seven old men from Vittorio hiked 4½ miles across the mountains to retrieve the bodies and brought them back to the village “The graves were beautifully decorated with flowers placed there by people of the surrounding country who wished to pay tribute to the men who paid the supreme sacrifice for their liberation from enemy occupation,” Sweetser wrote Bahl’s father accepted a Medal of Valor on behalf of his son from a representative of the king of Italy at New York City Hall in February 1919 and his flag-draped coffin was escorted by more than 100 uniformed veterans of Wayne County from Wooster United Methodist Church to the Wooster Cemetery Marinello helped to dedicate a room at the Museum of the Battle in the Italian village dedicated to Bahl and his unit his group organized an event about the 332nd Infantry Regiment and created a website called Faces in the Book which can be found at www.facesinthebook.it filled with stories and photos of the regiment Marinello writes that he hopes the website acts “as a bridge between our city and the American states in which we do not hide the hope of finding the descendants of the soldiers listed here and maybe even be able to weave new relationships documents and photos” for both the website and the museum exhibit The Italian historian is also preparing for some conferences to present his work on the 332nd Infantry Regiment and their service to Italy and hopes someday to visit Wooster and do a presentation Additional reporting was done by Tami Mosser Emily

With the country at war, he enlisted in the British Army, serving as a private with the 10th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers on the Italian Front in 1918 only at higher altitudes and during colder winters The American-manufactured weapon was perfected by the British and used heavily during the First World War It had a distinctive barrel cooling shroud and a top-mounted pan magazine and it was a highly-effective infantry weapon Wood received the Victoria Cross for his actions on October 28 The battle had been raging for four days and featured fierce Italian attacks – supported by the Allied forces – trying to drive the Austro-Hungarian forces from Italian territory and end the war itself Near Casa Van, Italy, a unit on Wood’s right flank was held up by hostile machine gun fire and deadly-accurate sniper fire. The private acted of his own accord and worked his way forward with his Lewis gun in hand.

In the interview, Pope Francis described St. John as “a saint who did not know the word ‘enemy,'” but “always sought what would unite people.” For St. John, he said, “the church is called to serve human beings, not just Catholics, and to defend always and everywhere the rights of the human person and not just of the Catholic Church.” Pope Francis said the pilgrimage was meant to be “a gift and an occasion” to renew one’s faith and to remember the great pope. It is a special opportunity for the elderly, the sick and the poor, who have not been able to go to St. Peter’s Basilica to pray at his tomb. The visit to the Diocese of Bergamo included a stop at the city’s prison, where 180 prisoners — including 35 Muslims — asked permission to enter the internal courtyard where a truck carrying the remains was to stop. The prison yard was the first place in Bergamo where people were allowed to touch the glass coffin. The prisoners were given a square of either yellow or white fabric to touch to the glass; most of them touched the glass with their hands, then used the fabric to wipe the glass clean. Vincenza, one of the inmates, told the local television station that it was amazing to have the saintly pope’s remains stop in the prison at the beginning of the pilgrimage “because usually, especially for important events, prisoners are the last ones people think about.” From the prison, the relics were to be driven to the diocesan seminary named after Pope John XXIII. The priests of the diocese were to escort the remains to the cathedral later in the day. Teens and young adults of the diocese planned a prayer vigil in the cathedral May 25, and the remains were also to be present the next morning as new priests were ordained for the diocese. After a Mass with the poor May 27, the body was to be moved to the hospital named after the late pope, then transferred to the Shrine of St. John XXIII in Sotto il Monte. Pilgrims can pray before the saint’s remains at the shrine until June 10, when Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state, will celebrate Mass and the body will be returned to the Vatican. Cardinal Angelo Comastri, archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica, told Vatican Media that “this is the first time — it’s never happened before — that the remains of a pope make a return visit to his home, to his roots.” Contributing to this story was Cindy Wooden at the Vatican. you’ll find Grand Hotel Via Veneto – the luxury five star hotel in the heart of the dolce vita Timeless Italian elegance mixes with Art Decò style at GHVV boasting 116 rooms and suites reminiscent of a 1930s style But it isn’t just the hotel rooms and relaxing ACVA City Spa that you’re in for at this luxurious hotel Grand Hotel Via Veneto is also known for being a gastronomic retreat the famous “Gambero Rosso” guide has awarded one of the hotel’s restaurants It’s the only bar on Via Veneto to have been registered as “excellent” in the guide this Roman salotto is the perfect place to get a taste of the real Rome Time Restaurant and Wine Bar attracts a stylish clientele with its renowned Italian specialties and perfectly mixed cocktails its classy setting and outstanding service also makes it the ideal place for a business lunch or drink Stop by Time Restaurant and Wine Bar for a delicious club sandwich How about the Mozzarella di bufala with grilled vegetables marinated in mint and Carasau bread you won’t go wrong with the homemade lasagna with Bolognese beef ragout But that’s just a tiny taste of Time Restaurant and Wine Bar the menu has something for everyone: from salads to seafood and meat If you need to recharge, a drink at this restaurant and bar will definitely deliver.

the photo in question was indeed taken in the area of Vittorio Veneto (Treviso) in December 1917 when British allies came to aid the Italian army engaged at the front from the Asiago plateau to the Piave River after the defeat of Caporetto it’s a photo of a bagpipe and drum band of the Gordon Highlanders the famous infantry regiment of the then 7th Division of the British Army and we manage to discover other photos: a stereoscopic photo of the same regiment and the same band with a detailed caption reading “Italo-Austrian War Allied troops on our front – Castelfranco Veneto – December 1917 – A company of Scotsmen in their characteristic costume” (Fig.2) Finally, a video of British soldiers detrain from a train at Fontaniva station (Padova) followed by a clip focusing on pipers marching and playing. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1060008198 These three small photos above and the video are preserved by the Imperial War Museum in London and available as viewable material in the museum’s online archive Thanks to these research efforts and to the discovery of historical photographic and video material we find out that there were three Scottish battalions in Italy during the First World War: the 6th Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders two divisions were on the front line on the Piave while the others were in reserve behind them namely the area between Vicenza and Legnago which constituted the concentration zone of the British contingent (Fig.7) Between the end of December 1917 and January 1918 they began to move towards the plateau and the Piave to enter into action at the front two divisions (the 5th with the Argyll & Sutherland and the King’s Own Scottish Borderers alternating on the plateau first and then on the Piave It was truly incredible to find all this historical material and discover tangible evidence that the places surrounding us were so closely involved in the dramatic events of the past wars; our thoughts naturally go to those who lost their lives Perhaps among the rediscovered photos are also those of the two MacLeod soldiers whom the Veneto Piping School commemorates every year with a dedicated ceremony at the British cemeteries of Barenthal (Asiago) and Montecchio Precalcino (Vicenza) the faces of many young people have remained imprinted we cannot know… But one thing we do know: in the worrying and sad reality of war a piper found the strength to give a moment of lightheartedness to children and bring a smile by doing the only thing he could do for them at that moment: playing the bagpipe We don’t know the name of that piper but his act of kindness surely left a lasting impression first on the children who listened to him then and also on us more than a hundred years later from that December 1917 we can still admire his gesture captured in the photo “I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay… small acts of kindness and love.” And it’s precisely this example and spirit that the Veneto Piping School wants to bring and tries to convey to the audience during its performances a heartfelt thank you to the Piper in the photo for still being an inspiration today Link to the video “British troops in Italy” (Source: Imperial War Museum – United Kingdom): https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1060008198 Min.00.00: arrival of the train at Fontaniva station (Padova) Min.05.22: British troops passing in front of the church of San Giorgio in Bosco (Padova) Sir James Edmonds – Military Operations in Italy 1915-1919 Wilks&Wilks- The British Army in Italy 1917-1918 (English edition) Fig.2: https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/PhotographicHeritage/0500695468 Fig.3: https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/PhotographicHeritage/0500691326 Fig.4: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205268078 Fig.5: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205268079 Fig.6: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205268011 Fig.7: https://www.freeforumzone.com/d/11812700/scozzesi-in-Veneto/discussione.aspx?p=1“ Bagpiping features and news from around the international piping community Contact us: news@bagpipe.news © Bagpipe News - The National Piping Centre Quando scoppia la pace (When peace erupts) Vittorio Veneto becomes an experimental laboratory for artistic dialogue between the countries that participated in World War 1 Athens (EMST) supports the national representation of Greece by Bill Balaskas in Italy’s World War I centenary exhibition “Quando scoppia la pace” (“When peace erupts”) This new permanent exhibition is hosted from Sunday 4 November 2018 by the city of Vittorio Veneto – the location of the last battle of the Great War (1914-1918) “Quando scoppia la pace” is curated by Dimitri Ozerkov curator of contemporary art at the Hermitage State Museum A true “call to arts” is what brought in Italy 13 international artists selected by Dimitri Ozerkov in order to reflect on peace at a place that is the symbol of the conclusion of WWI Serbia and Croatia are countries of the nations once again gathering in Vittorio Veneto 13 artworks specifically designed for 13 different locations in the historic districts of Vittorio Veneto which from 4th November – the day on which the War officially ended – will define the first edition of an event that will be for Vittorio Veneto a “Centennale”: an artistic itinerary that is both temporal and spatial as former war locations will transform into places to celebrate peace every 100 years Balaskas presents the first part of a new dual neon installation The work’s two parts are reproductions of the right-eye and left-eye apertures of a military mask that the artist discovered in Vittorio Veneto’s Battle Museum (Museo della Battaglia) and its particular design was chosen in order to protect the soldiers’ eyes from snow and the low temperatures on the mountains “Apertures” has been conceived by Balaskas as a work that shall co-exist in two different locations: Vittorio Veneto for one of the two “eyes”;
