Sacro Monte di Varese. On the evening of commemoration of the Battle of Nikolajewka of 26 January 1943, the mountain will never forget those who have lost their lives in the Russian campaign. 80,000 Italian soldiers are not returned. To remember them, Lt. Nelson Cenci, Commander of the 55th Vestone Company ("Sergeant Snow, Mario Rigoni Stern, Einaudi 1953)
of the clouds and the white peaks
the Virgin Mary came down to our upstream
Ve brought the spirit of those
that the path leaves the return
Ve has led the soul of the wind
he kept himself in tears and prayer
of those who turned to her asking
the last kiss and the last comfort
The silent tears have wet
mothers grief-stricken oppressed
that in fear of an empty waiting
in her cercaron the last hope
They erected on the green hills
skinny arms and hearts of strong men
that desolate steppes and cold
welcomed the will of the dead
O you who are up here and see all
protect us from the evils of every day
waking up back in those winters
those we lost in hostile lands
And in the silence of the night when
the immense sky full of stars
ago d'Arc mountain and light up your face
come down between us and listens to prayers
here than you put in custody
of this humanity in your heart
relief to his penis should be looking
Nelson Cenci
