THE GARDEN OF THE RIGHTEOUS IN PADOVA/3


by David Monticelli

President Peace Culture!
English translation by Michela Moroni



The iron wall divides the Garden into two parts: on the left, a plane portion, with metal sculptures and, on one end, some steps that bring to the Bacchiglione bank; on the right, a portion that gradually goes up to the same bank, along which the Righteous trees are planted.


2009 ceremony in honour of the Righteous has been opened on the steps, in the presence of the town gonfalon, by the town mayor, Mr. Flavio Zanonato and by Prof. Giuliano Pisani, in the presence of the Righteous and their relatives. Melodies echoed in the air, diffused by loudspeakers put in every corner of the park, by the Chorus of Treble Voices Cesare Pollini and by the Iris Ensemble Chorus, directed by Marina Malavasi, with the musical accompaniment of Alessandro Kirschner. Several medias were present: besides Beppe Grillo’s blog, there were RAI and the Turkish channel DHA.
