A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SITE

On 29th June 1944 troups from the Feldgendarmerie department of the Hermann Goering division slaughtered all the men of San Pancrazio in the cellar of this building, then known as “Fattoria Pierangeli”, which dates back to 1700.Among them was their priest, Don Giuseppe Torelli, whose name has been given to the Intercultural Centre.Burned down after the massacre by these same Germans, the building lay abandoned for a long period until, during the seventies, it was acquired by the local administration who, after a series of operations paying special attention to its original architectural features, completed its careful restoration, at the beginning of the summer of 2000.
