Edition 2025 — Solferino Torchlight Procession

In 2025, the Red Cross Torchlight Procession once again brought together thousands of volunteers from around the world in Solferino, for a commemorative march in the places of the 1859 Battle that inspired Henry Dunant to found the humanitarian movement.

The 2025 edition of the Solferino Torchlight Procession renewed the tradition of the large international Red Cross gathering. Volunteers from numerous National Societies met in the places of the Battle of Solferino for the torchlight march, a symbolic moment that reaffirms each year the values of solidarity and neutrality at the heart of the humanitarian movement born in this very village in the Mantua region.
