On June 9, 2019 the Garden of the Righteous was inaugurated in Buccinasco, in the green area of Manzoni Street.
An area to remember the Righteous, women and men who have done good by saving lives, fighting for the affirmation of human rights and defending the dignity of people.
The project was born on the initiative of the municipal administration, which, as part of the project #PianoQuartieri, has decided to redevelop some areas considered "peripheral".
The area has been arranged with new children's games and benches and some trees have been planted. One of these, with a plaque, just on the occasion of the inauguration of the Garden, was dedicated to Piersanti Mattarella, president of the Sicily Region killed by the mafia in 1980.
The ceremony was attended by the mayor Rino Pruiti and the councillor in charge of the Associationism Simone Mercuri, together with the students of the City Council of Children and the associations of the territory (Proloco Buccinasco, AUSER, Fiab BuccInBici, ApertaMente-Punto Parco Terradeo, Amici della Biblioteca di Buccinasco). The event also saw the participation of the Civic Band G. Verdi and the students of the association Artènergia with the emotional reading "7 minuti Giusti".
