La Memoria d’Inciampo su Strade Volontarie

The Stolpersteine, conceived by German artist Gunter Demnig, are commemorative plaques placed on streets and sidewalks across Europe to honor the victims of Nazism. Often located in front of the last residences of those deported, the plaques bear the individual's name, date of birth, place of deportation, and, if known, the date of death. These stones, with brass surfaces, symbolically invite people to "stumble" upon memory, encouraging reflection.

They represent a living memorial and a gift, raising awareness about human rights and the Holocaust, in line with Goal 16 of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda. They promote historical memory and the fight against intolerance, contributing to peace and social justice.

In Copertino, the associations Il Messape – Officina Didattica in Natura and La Casa della Memoria have organized the walk “La Memoria d’inciampo,” a 3-kilometer urban route. The walk is currently part of the broader volunteer promotion program “Nidi di Pace” by CSV Brindisi-Lecce Volontariato nel Salento. The event will take place on October 27, 2024, with a meeting at 8:30 AM at Casa della Memoria and guided by Prof. Dario Chiriatti.
