From Friday 8 to Sunday 10 July 2022 Asiago will host the TRIVENETA GATHERING OF THE ALPINI.
Initially scheduled for 2020, on the occasion of the centenary of the first meeting of the Alpini made on the Ortigara in 1920, the meeting of the Triveneto grouping was postponed twice due to the pandemic.
Finally this year the event can take place and it will be really nice and exciting to see the black feathers on the Plateau after the great National Meeting of 2006.
Two will be the most significant moments:
- the pilgrimage to the top of Ortigara, symbol of the sacrifice and calvary of the Alpini where the "Veci" of 1920 wanted to place a severed column engraved with three words "Not to forget" in memory and warning for future generations;
- the tribute to all the Fallen with the parade that will end at the Shrine of Asiago, a symbol of honor and identity of homeland.
It will therefore be an event of great value and profound significance for everyone and in a particular way for the Alpini both on leave and in arms.
For the occasion, a large participation is expected, which is also estimated at 40/50,000 Alpini.
