The City of Spoleto has declared 22 March as the “City Remembrance Day”, marking the symbolic date of the terrible explosion that cost the lives of 23 miners in the Morgnano mines in 1955. The day is dedicated to the memory and historical and social identity of the city, to remember all those events that in some way have had a social and cultural significance.

On the occasion of the City’s Remembrance Day, in addition to a short story on the epic of the Morgnano mines and the terrible accident in 1955, we have dedicated space to another exemplary story of the town’s history: a focus, created through testimonies, photos and documents conserved at the Carducci Library, on the exciting story of the Panetto & Petrelli printing house, an integral part of the town’s recent history.

The images below are links to two special pages dedicated to the two events.
