Right on time, here is the May issue of L'Arena di Pola.

Windows on history, open onto the kaleidoscopic tiles of an existential mosaic in continuous composition: between events of yesterday, current affairs of today and projects for tomorrow, with a desirable growing involvement of the new generations.

Once again we have entrusted the images on the first page with the synopsis of the following ones and their content: in the sign of peace, the 2024 motto of the 95th Alpine gathering, coming from all over the world and of all ages; with the successful participation in the Turin Book Fair; with the students on a prize trip to the territories of the NE Adriatic and the meeting with their peers from Pola.
