Profili: "A pope's visit is a precious gift that we consider important to remember"

Ten years after Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Bagnoregio, this Sunday, September 22, the Municipality and the Parish of San Bonaventura will present a plaque to commemorate this significant event to everyone.

The event is scheduled for 12:30 PM in Sant'Agostino Square. The commemorative plaque will be blessed by Bishop Lino Fumagalli.

This is an important moment for our entire community. A pope's visit is not an everyday occurrence; it's a precious gift, and for Bagnoregio to have hosted Benedict XVI is a great honor and a source of pride," said Mayor Luca Profili. "There was nothing in our town that drew attention to that historic day, so we wanted to place a marker in remembrance on the tenth anniversary. All fellow citizens are invited to participate in the blessing
