Council president Laura Parenza also remarked that Brescia is a very active city when it comes to peace, to the extent of having a festival for peace.
The running club Corri x Brescia invited us into the premises of their association and presented us with a nice t-shirt.
Their association organizes every Thursday training events where up to 700 people participate. This all takes place during winter to stay fit in the colder period of the year. The joint effort of 130 volunteers makes all this possible. Congratulations for your amazing team effort!
