(Minghui.org) During the summer peak travel season, practitioners in Italy held events in several cities to introduce Falun Dafa to tourists and expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution. People from Italy and other countries agreed with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and encouraged practitioners to continue their efforts.

Gatteo Mare

Practitioners from Emilia-Romagna and Rimini participated in the Good Life Health Expo 2025 in Gatteo Mare on August 7. The event’s theme of physical and mental health and a healthy lifestyle attracted many exhibitors who specialize in practices for mind, body, and spirit as well as naturopathic professionals. Practitioners introduced Falun Dafa by demonstrating the exercises and urged the public to help stop the CCP’s suppression.

Impressed by the soothing music and colorful banners, many people stopped at the booth for more information. They took pamphlets and lotus flowers with information about Falun Dafa and thanked practitioners.

Marco, a young man at a nearby booth, had a long conversation with a practitioner. He said he’d heard about Falun Dafa before but did not know any details. When he learned how practitioners were mistreated in China for their faith, he signed a petition and said he hoped the tragedy would end soon.

A young woman from a town near Arezzo was moved to tears when she saw the “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance” banner. She told practitioners she’d been searching for a cultivation practice like this for a long time and wanted to bring the information back to her hometown. She planned to learn Falun Dafa at a nearby practice site and thanked practitioners for being there.

Families out walking after dinner were attracted to the practitioners’ exercise demonstration. Some children wanted to learn the movements, while others asked for materials to bring home.

When a local woman and her child stopped by, the woman said her husband would be very interested in Falun Dafa. She took a pamphlet and a copy of Minghui International and said she would read them with her husband.

Two young men on bicycles from Bangladesh stopped to talk with practitioners and said they were interested in Falun Dafa. They read the information at the booth and took pamphlets with them and said they would continue reading about the practice in their own language online.

Their activities caught the attention of an owner of a booth across the street. He came over to talk with a practitioner and took a pamphlet.

Milan

Practitioners in Milan had an event on August 15 in front of Sforza Castle, a popular tourist attraction.

Their event coincided with Ferragosto, a public holiday in Italy, and many people who were visiting the castle also stopped at the Falun Dafa booth, read the information, and spoke with practitioners. An elderly couple said they liked the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance very much because these values are greatly needed in the world today.

They asked about practice sites in Milan and said they planned to go there and learn the exercises.

Como

Practitioners in northern Italy held an event in Como on August 17. At the foot of the Alps next to Switzerland and on the shores of Lake Como, Como is another popular tourist destination where people were glad to hear about Falun Dafa.
