History

The Municipal Assembly of Religions was born in 2005 based on the need to find tools which guarantee the mutual respect and the improvement of the cohabitation between the people involved in different religious and spiritual traditions in the city. The Assembly originates in the will of different religious traditions and political representatives to come together and promote the freedom of conscience and religion and to encourage peaceful coexistence.
