Aims of the initiative
The declared aim of the Alessandria leg was to promote concrete reflection on what institutions, schools, families and associations can achieve together to counter violent behaviour and build safer communities. According to the organisers, preventing violence cannot be left to a single body, but requires shared responsibility and ongoing commitment. [1]

All the places visited by the marathon are linked to the story of Paolo Sarullo, who at 24 was the victim of a brutal assault in Albenga, in the province of Savona, during an attempt to steal his scooter. [1]
