Every 4 November Italy remembers the fallen and the establishment of the Army. In Massa Lombarda the anniversary is marked with a public morning of commemorations that begins at the Cimitero comunale, in front of the monument to the fallen, and continues between the parish church and the squares of the town centre. The route touches the symbolic places of the city: the parish church for Mass, Piazza Umberto Ricci for the tribute to the martyrs for freedom, Piazza Matteotti for the flag-raising and the ceremony with civil, military and religious authorities. The morning closes with the laying of a wreath at the memorial plaque. The celebrations are promoted by the Gruppo Alpini di Massa Lombarda, with the patronage of the Comune di Massa Lombarda, and all citizens are invited to take part.
