Padenghe Community History Book Unveiled at Mayor’s Event
The book «Padenghe sul Garda at the Roots of a Community», written by Andrea Nodari, will be officially presented this evening at 8:30 PM in the council chamber of the Comune di Padenghe. It is a particularly interesting volume because it encompasses the history of this town rich in ancient traditions and culture.
Book presentation and mayor’s commentary
«The book – writes in its introduction Mayor Giancarlo Allegri – offers all my fellow citizens a journey through time, into our past, to the origins of our land and culture. It is essential that the municipal administration promotes and participates in initiatives like this, which allow us to learn more, expand our understanding, but most importantly, keep our identity always alive.»
The information compiled in this text, relating to various settlements, locations, monuments, events, and figures concerning Padenghe and its community, comes from historical sources and recent news, gathered with dedication and effort by Professor Andrea Nodari, a teacher at our middle school and a resident of Padenghe.»
Words of Lucio Vezzola and content of the book
Also Lucio Vezzola, deputy vice president of the Bcc del Garda, which supported the financial effort of this project alongside the Comune di Padenghe, reiterated that «after years of doubts and uncertainties, finally our town also has its own history, has rediscovered its memory — thanks to the work, dedication, and passion of Professor Nodari.»
Like all important stories, this one spans various fields: from the economy to the arts, from social implications to cultural aspects, in a clear and highly effective summary.»
«In the book – further writes Lucio Vezzola – one chapter is dedicated to the Cassa rurale ed artigiana di Padenghe, from its founding to today, recalling the men who created it, the journey taken, and the most significant milestones, as well as the social commitment it demonstrated and the solidarity shown to the weaker classes and local institutions.»
Distribution and use of the book
The book will be distributed free of charge in the coming days to every household head in the Municipality as a Christmas gift from the municipal administration during these holidays.
