On Sunday 8 November 2026, departing at 3 pm from the Tourist Office in piazza Santarosa, Savigliano offers a free guided tour dedicated to General Giuseppe Arimondi, 130 years after his death at Adua. The initiative is part of the celebrations of 4 November. The route follows the traces of the soldier from Savigliano among the gravestones, the monument that celebrates him, the newspapers and images of the time, without avoiding the controversial aspects of his figure. The central stop is the Ara della Vittoria, which commemorates Arimondi and the fallen of the wars from the Risorgimento up to the Second World War. The tour is organised by the Comune di Savigliano with the collaboration of prof. Emanuele Bonis, curator of the project Savigliano di pietra.
