Manduria celebrates the Giornata delle Forze Armate with a morning of civil and religious ceremonies in honor of the Fallen. The gathering is set near Bar Fellini, from where the procession moves towards the Chiesa della SS. Trinità accompanied by the Banda Tripaldi and followed by the Corsa dei Bersaglieri. After the Holy Mass, the procession reaches the Monumento ai Caduti in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele for the flag-raising, the laying of a laurel wreath and the Mayor's speech. The morning closes with the parade towards Piazza Garibaldi and the performance of the fanfara dei Bersaglieri di Terlizzi. The initiative is promoted by the Comune di Manduria together with local associations, including the Manduria sections of the Associazione Nazionale Sottufficiali d'Italia, the Associazione Bersaglieri and the Associazione Nazionale Combattenti e Reduci.
