I’m from Scotland. And this makes me so proud and it literally brought a tear to my eye. My great uncle was in WW2 as a pilot and he was transferring food etc to a small village in Italy called Ostana but unfortunately my great uncles planet crashed due to poor weather conditions. The Italian villagers gathered up the remains and made a grave for him and his crew members. They marked them as hero’s and for many years my grandad didn’t know what happened to his brother that night and in 2001 they discovered this. It’s such a beautiful story. God bless the Italians 🩷🇮🇹🏴

In my hometown, Piacenza, there is a neighborhood dedicated to Saint Brigid of Ireland, where the city's Scota (gaels) community lived.
The most important historical figure of Piacenza is Alberto Scotti, lord of the city between the end of the 1200s and the beginning of the 1300s, and he was of Gaelic origins.
Near Piacenza there is the sanctuary with the tomb of Saint Columbanus, and during the Middle Ages it was a pilgrimage destination for all the Gaels who traveled the Via Francigena
