News: Stresa Marks The Tenth Anniversary Of 9/11


On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, the Comune Administration of Stresa will remember the victims of Sept. 11 with a ceremony Sunday morning at 9:30, at the monument to the Twin Towers on the Lungolago in front of the Hotel des Iles Borromees. In front of the volunteer firefighters of Stresa, a garland will be placed on the memorial ...

It's important to remember that Stresa was the first city in all of Italy to erect a monument remembering the victims of that day. The beautiful statue is the work of the Albanian Sculptor Ilirjan Xhixha; another copy of the statue resides in New York City. All citizens, tourists and visitors are invited to attend the ceremony on Sunday morning.
