The Gardesana Hospitality Trail took place on Sunday, May 18, 2025, in Caprino Veronese, as part of an initiative promoted by Federalberghi Garda Veneto in collaboration with ULSS 9 Scaligera. This event, which celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the association and coincides with the Year of the Jubilee of Hope, saw the participation of numerous pilgrims who set off from the Civic Museum of Villa Carlotti, walking ten kilometers to the Sanctuary of Madonna della Corona. Mayor Giuseppe Armani opened the event by recounting the story of the Lamentation over the Dead Christ, a symbol of hospitality and spirituality.
During the pilgrimage, Ivan De Beni, president of Federalberghi Garda Veneto, emphasized the importance of expressing gratitude to both tourists and those who welcome them. At the conclusion of the Eucharistic celebration led by Mons. Martino Signoretto, a flag representing over 56 nationalities of visitors in 2024 was displayed. The event brought together various institutional figures and highlighted the need for social and inclusive tourism in the Garda area. The day concluded with a refreshment at the Parc Hotel San Pietro in Spiazzi, followed by a shuttle service provided by the Caritas Vicariale of Lake Verona for the return to Caprino Veronese.
