A Polenta for Peace

About the event

The Ledro Valley is holding three days dedicated to peace, a concrete gesture of solidarity with the victims of conflicts around the world. The programme includes gatherings, reflection, sport and shared moments, while the Peace Lamp travels through the valley.

The programme concludes on Sunday with a community day in Pieve di Ledro and the Polenta concia della Pace.

On Saturday 26 September at 18:00, a Mass for Peace is held in Bezzecca, during which the Peace Lamp is carried into the church.

Proceeds from the day go entirely to Médecins Sans Frontières and Emergency.

About Ledro

Ledro is a mountain valley just west of Riva, reached through the tunnel on the SS240 or, for walkers and cyclists, up the old Ponale road carved into the cliff. The municipality was formed in 2010 from the villages around the lake and along the valley: Molina, Pieve, Mezzolago, Bezzecca, Tiarno and others.
