Beinette
Beinette is a municipality (comune) in the province of Cuneo, in Piedmont. The local Alpini group (association of Alpine troops veterans) is active in the area and oversees the village's main civic commemorations, and the town is home to the Adriano Olivetti multipurpose centre, used for public events. The military unit of reference for the area is the Peveragno barracks, whose Marshal takes part in official ceremonies.[1]
Armed Forces and National Unity Day
On 8 November 2026 Beinette celebrated Armed Forces and National Unity Day, a commemoration that falls on 4 November, the anniversary of Italy's victory in the First World War in 1918.[1] The ceremony was held in the rain, after the Beinette Alpini group had already decorated the village with flags on the morning of Saturday 31 October 2026.[1]
The event was attended by the commanding Marshal of the Peveragno barracks, Beinette's deputy mayor Bruno Bertone, and parish priest don Luciano Bruno, who gave the blessing.[1] During the ceremony the names of the village's fallen in the two world wars were read out.[1] Pupils from Beinette's primary and middle schools took part with readings dedicated to the fallen and reflections on peace and justice.[1]
Because of the bad weather, the final part of the ceremony, after the moment at the war memorial, was held at the Adriano Olivetti multipurpose centre, which offered shelter from the rain to those present.[1]
