The event, organized by the friars of the Church of Sant’Antonino on December 21 at 9 pm, aims to improve the area’s conditions and promote civic coexistence. The procession will start from Via Torino and end in Piazza Sant’Antonino, followed by a public assembly. The initiative is supported by the owner of a bar who has been a victim of multiple thefts and aims to raise awareness about the neighborhood’s livability and security, urging the presence of law enforcement. The participation of everyone is crucial for a new season of legality and beauty.
