Garden of the Righteous of Rome

Rome, too will soon have its Garden of the Righteous. The fruit of one year of efforts by the Municipio Roma XII, upon proposal by ADEIWIZO and Gariwo, the new Garden will be hosted inside Villa Pamphilj.

“The Righteous are those who have acted, even at the risk of their lives - the official press release reads out - to counter an ongoing case of genocide or the culture of genocide, with the aim of averting its effect at least partly, by rescuing the persecuted or stepping in to defend the historical truth against the attempts to justify or conceal the traces of the misdeeds and the guilt of the executioners”.

“ADEI-WIZO - goes on the release - has accepted Gariwo's invitation and strongly sought to create this place to keep alive the memory of the gloomiest pages of our history, in order to educate the younger generations to the defence of human dignity and make them aware of the dynamics that made it possible to such events to occur”.

The Garden of the Righteous of Villa Pamphilj (entrance from Porta di San Pancrazio on the right of Arco dei Quattro Venti) will be inaugurated on Thursday, 31 March at 4 pm, in the pinewood in front of Villino Corsini - one of the Villa's most suggestive areas, and former scene of the struggle for democracy and freedom, as well as an ideal place to commemorate people, whose lives represent an example for all.

Guests of the ceremony will be Cristina Maltese, President Municipio Roma XII, Tiziana Capriotti, Councilor of Culture of Municipio Roma XII, Alessia Salmoni, President of the Council Municipio Roma XII, Ruth Dureghello, President of Rome's Jewish Community, Rav Riccardo Di Segni, Chief Rabbi of the Jewish Community of Rome, Ziva Fischer Modiano, ADEIWIZO and historian Anna Foa on behalf of Gariwo.
