Staying in the theme of festivals I want to signal a slightly 'detail that goes beyond the usual culinary tourism and makes us stop a moment to reflect. This year's festival in apple and grape of Villa di Tirano there will be a time dedicated to the Holocaust. In fact, along the paths of Tirano in the course of World War II managed to escape in Switzerland a few hundred Jews. But some did not have it done and his death in the mountains or in concentration camps.
Professor Fausta Mass' s Historical Institute for the Resistance of Sondrio, he studied and collected the information about these pathways and Saturday, September 11 at 9:30 am there will be opportunity to hear the last witnesses of this piece of history of our house, including a person who has risked his life to "ferry" in neighboring Switzerland persecuted Jews. In short, an opportunity to reclaim our "memory" and to revisit the recent history between the red and yellow apples.
