On 10 November 2026 at 6 p.m., the Council Chamber of the Municipality of Racconigi will host the ceremony for the return of the postcard that Paolo Soldano, an Italian military internee, sent from the Bezeichnung Camp and which never reached its destination. The letter was recovered among the approximately one hundred collected in Piedmont and returns to the hands of the community and the family after more than eighty years. The initiative is open to citizens and aims to honour the memory of fellow citizens deported to Nazi concentration camps, giving due prominence to an artefact of historical and civic value. The ceremony is organised by the Municipality of Racconigi and takes place with sobriety and solemnity, respecting the value of memory.
