On the occasion of National Unity Day and Armed Forces Day, the Commemoration of the Fallen in War was held on 4 November 2023 at the Rsa 'Villa I Pitti' in the presence of the Mayor of the Municipality of Signa, Giampiero Fossi.

The celebration was the only one to be held in the territory since the mayor was busy with the Civil Protection in dealing with the damage caused by the recent flooding that hit several municipalities between Prato, Pistoia and Florence.

Alviero Fossi, 103 years old in February 2024, father of the mayor of Signa and guest of the residence, awarded the title of Cavaliere, played 'Silenzio', a piece with his trumpet used in all Italian barracks to signal the end of the day.

"Hearing the trumpet solo was a beautiful moment of recollection for the guests and staff of our facility," said the facility's director and regional contact person Iacopo Giglioli. "I thank Mayor Fossi, who made a point of attending the only celebration held in the area in memory of this historic event. We observe with admiration his commitment to help the Civil Protection in the municipalities affected by the recent flooding'.
