From Visit Trentino:
"A lone stag braves the winter elements, apparently indifferent to the harsh conditions that the cold season can unleash. The mountains and valleys of Trentino boast a rich biodiversity, accustomed to the endless rhythms of the turning seasons, and in winter, when the world seems to rest under a thick mantle of snow, these graceful sentinels, antlers held high, roam the resting forests, guarding its borders.
#visittrentino - 📷 Luciano Gaudenzio"Le abbondanti nevicate di queste ultime settimane hanno spinto molti animali selvatici a quote più basse. Ricordiamo insieme alcune semplici e importanti regole di convivenza:
- Rispetta sempre i ritmi naturali della fauna selvatica
- Mantieni sempre le distanze dagli animali
- Non mettere mai a disposizione cibo 🦌

La NUOVA cappella di San Francesco a Collestrada in Perugia
Saint Francis of Assisi – (The new) Chapel of Saint Francis in Collestrada
…...................................
Prologo
…...................................
There are different locations related to the life of a saint like Francis.
In addition there are locations of which have been lost historical memory:
Actually is on one of these that we would like operating recovery from the mists of time.
…....................................
Historical context
…....................................
The event that binds the forgotten place to the life of Francis, occurred in the year 1200
(approximately), when a combative military of Assisi, was sent to avenge the wrongdoings of the
expelled compatriots and refugees under protection of Perugia.
The foot soldiers of Assisi, protected by the cavalry with Francis (John of Bernardone, so called
Francis), blessed by the Bishop, came down from Col Subasio playing the drums, welcoming
military of other towns.
The municipality of Perugia had an interest in protecting the exiles of Assisi, nobles, rich, they had
invested riches in his territory.
With this policy Perugia favored the weakening of Assisi, rebel and hard to submit.
The area to wich they were directed, was that of Collestrada, with the Tevere plain, the Forest of
Farnetto and agricultural activities.
Here were expected by the mercenary armies of Assisi and soldiers of Perugia, that they were
positioned reinforcements just across the river, just to prevent escapes and flows towards Perugia.
In this Plane there were a lot of towers, used as a warehouse or shelter:
Alessandro Piceller restored one of these, an aedicula who remembered the battle.
…........................................
The artifact
…........................................
The tower has a rectangular shape.
Is an example of medieval Umbrian construction.
It has been renovated, elevated and moved to where it is now, cause the construction of the road (in
the 1988) .
The interior is empty and it is walled because vandalized.
…...........................................
Goals and targets
…...........................................
The tower and the landscape must be valued in order to stimulate the birth of interest by citizens,
public entities, private enterprises and than anyone else might be envolved positively.
The study of feasibility will have to turn the interior in a chapel, commemorative of the battle of
Collestrada, place of prayer and spirituality, usable by the community.
Tree-lined paths will be realized with benches and historical information.
The Chapel will be inserted in the franciscans paths because in Perugia was great the presence of
Francis.
We must remember that Francis, after Collestrada, was imprisoned for a year in the center of
Perugia.

It is with immense pleasure and pride that we announce that our very own Luca Dorigatti was recently chosen as the US representative (“consultore”) to the Province of Trentino. Interestingly, Luca’s parents read the news in the Trentino newspaper before he received the official announcement. Luca was our club’s secretary in the past, and he is now one our trustees. He is always at the forefront of any initiative our club undertakes and is most deserving of this honor. The Province has a total of 10 representatives from abroad covering areas of high Trentino emigration. Luca will join representatives from Canada, Mexico, Australia, Chile, Uruguay and two each from Argentina and Brazil. We wish Luca well on this new endeavor.
