The City of Asiago has become the leader, with the involvement of the Rigoni Stern Family,the Veneto Region,the Province of Vicenza and important personalities and institutions of academia and cultural world, the presentation at the MiBACT of the application for the establishment of the National Committee for the celebrations of the centenary of the birth of Mario Rigoni Stern,which will take placeon November 1, 2021.

To complete all the initiatives put in place in anticipation of the National Celebrations, the City of Asiago has submitted to the MiSE the request for a special philatelic issue dedicated to Mario Rigoni Stern to ensure that the message of the Writer can reach, as perhaps he himself would have loved, up to the most remote districts, thus exceeding the distances of men, in that particular and unique way that only culture is able to realize.

The planned celebrations include a very articulated cultural programme that is expected to take place in the three-year period 2021-2023 and aim to remember the figure of the famous Asian writer who, thanks to his example and his work, he has made himself the bearer of universal values, such as the preservation of traditions and the mountain environment and those of brotherhood and friendship among the European peoples,in a choral song that has been able to render in his writings his "little homeland", the Asiago Plateau, example and metaphor of those values.

This ambitious project is linked to important side initiatives and concomitants that recognize the Asian narrator as an important "figure of memory",able to convey messages of hope and trust to bequeathed to the younger generations. Thus, at the very will of the Stern family, to which our most sincere thanks goes, we are proceeding, after a complex administrative procedure carried out at the Archivist Superintendent of Veneto and Trentino South Tyrol,to perfect the donation of theprivate archive Rigoni Stern that, housed in the archive room of the Palace of Tourism "Millepini", together with the documents of the Ancient Spectacular Regency,we hope will become, at the end of the Centennial, a concrete and symbolic heritage of what the Writer wanted to bequeath to his land that he loved so much, usable to scholars, enthusiasts and young people who will want to approach this extraordinary personality.
