In a commemoration marking fifty years since his passing, the Civic Museum of War for Peace Diego de Henriquez in Trieste is set to host two free guided tours this weekend, on Saturday, April 27, and Sunday, April 28. These tours, led by curator Antonella Cosenzi, offer visitors a profound exploration of the life and legacy of Diego de Henriquez, whose contributions to peace and history remain timeless.
Diego de Henriquez, who passed away on May 2, 1974, at the age of sixty-five, left behind a rich tapestry of activism and advocacy for peace. The guided tours will navigate through the museum’s seven sections, delving into the pivotal moments of the Great War and Trieste’s historical context during those tumultuous years. From the triggers of conflict to the aftermath of hostilities, visitors will witness firsthand the journey through history that shaped the world as we know it.
But beyond the historical narrative, these tours promise a deeper reflection on the man himself—Diego de Henriquez. Through anecdotes and insights, participants will gain a deeper understanding of his tireless work and his enduring message of peace, resonating even more urgently in today’s turbulent times.
Access to these guided tours is granted with the purchase of a museum admission ticket, welcoming all to join in this tribute to Diego de Henriquez’s remarkable life and his unwavering commitment to peace.
As the Civic Museum of War for Peace Diego de Henriquez opens its doors daily from April 25 to May 1, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., visitors are invited to embark on a journey through history, guided by the spirit of peace and remembrance.
