Emilia Romagna Castles

The events include the Historic Carabinieri Horse Carousel, the paratroopers' launch and the inevitable parade.

Three intense days that will see the participation of around 70,000 members from the 1,700 ANC Sections, the Civil Defence Units and the Voluntary Organisations of the ANC Regional Inspectorates, for the XXVI National Meeting of the National Carabinieri Association.

The event represents an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate the values, history and tradition of the Carabinieri, strengthening the bond between the Institution and citizens through an articulated programme of cultural, educational and commemorative initiatives.

Programme:
- Friday 15 May: Flag raising (9.30 a.m.) and inauguration of the "Villaggio della Legalità" (Legality Village) on Rimini's seafront, a space dedicated to meetings on various issues of legality as well as on gender violence and bullying aimed especially at young people.

On the same day, it is possible to visit two exhibitions of great historical interest: the exhibition of historic Carabinieri uniforms at the Amintore Galli Theatre and the exhibition of vintage cars of the Nuclei Radiomobile in Piazza Cavour.

In the afternoon, there will be an evocative launch of the paratroopers of the 1st Carabinieri Regiment 'Tuscania' on the beach in front of the Ferris wheel (4 pm), while the evening will end with the theatrical performance 'La foto del Carabiniere' (The photo of the Carabiniere) by Claudio Boccaccini, dedicated to the memory of Salvo D'Acquisto (9.30 pm arena Francesca da Rimini).

- On Saturday 16 May, the day begins with the laying of a wreath at the War Memorial, followed by Holy Mass.

One of the most eagerly awaited moments will be the performance by the Fanfare of the 4th Mounted Regiment, the Carabinieri Corps' oldest musical ensemble, which will perform on the beach in front of the Panoramic Wheel. The Fanfare of the 4th Mounted Regiment is the oldest musical ensemble of the Carabinieri Corps and in its current configuration has 33 elements.

In the evening, the Banda Musicale dell'Arma dei Carabinieri concert will take place in Piazzale Fellini, an event that promises to thrill the audience with a rich and enthralling repertoire, for the variety of the repertoire, the formal perfection of the performances, and the fascination aroused by the orchestral musicians, with their splendid uniforms, composure, and deep musical vocation.
