# Integrated Report — Pro Loco / Tossignano Reconstruction

General Summary
After the Second World War, the Tossignanesi — many exiles residing in Bologna and elsewhere — promoted an organized mobilization to obtain the reconstruction of the village, the protection of charitable works, and the restitution of administrative functions transferred to the hamlet of Borgo. The main requests were: reconstruction of the Palazzo Pretoriale (National Monument), reconstitution and correct administration of the Hospice of Santa Maria (by testamentary will of Maddalena Ridolfi), reconstruction of the parish church of San Michele (Santa Maria Assunta), and the arrangement of the town center.

Main Actors
- Provisional Committee / Appeal (Bologna, March 15, 1955) — promoter of the appeal for the "resurrection of Tossignano". (Confidence: High)
- Pro-Tossignano Committee (Bologna Delegation) — headquarters in Via Felice Cavallotti 4, with Zotti Modesto (President) and Campomori Giuseppe (Secretary-Treasurer). (Confidence: High)
- Committee of Tossignanese Exiles (Bologna) — represents exiles, organizes demonstrations/trips, and distributes aid (gift packages). (Confidence: High)
- Local Clergy — Fr. Luigi Brugnoli (Archpriest of Tossignano) and other canons, promoters of letters and attestations. (Confidence: High)
- Political Support — interlocutions with DC exponents (Hon. Giovanni Elkan; Hon. Benigno Zaccagnini) and technical offices (Civil Engineering). (Confidence: High/Medium)

Activities Performed
- Drafting and dissemination of appeals and historical memoranda for state authorities.
- Official correspondence with ministries, deputies, and the Civil Engineering.
- Organization of a trip/demonstration and distribution of gift packages to the needy.
- Political lobbying actions that led to the approval of the Palazzo Pretoriale project (Civil Engineering, 1957) and the commitment to start work.

Main Results
- Continuous mobilization between 1950 and 1957; positive outcome in 1957 with approval of the project for the Palazzo Pretoriale (communication Hon. Giovanni Elkan, 13/07/1957) and announcement by the Committee of the start of work in autumn 1957.
- Strong pressure on the issue of the restitution of the administration of the Hospice of Santa Maria to the Tossignanesi, as provided for by the statute/testamentary legacy.

Problems and points to verify
- Some handwritten names, telephone numbers, and lines in cursive writing are uncertain in OCR texts: if you want definitive accuracy, upload high-resolution crops of signatures and notes.
- Precise dates of some actions (e.g., package distribution) can be confirmed by consulting the originals or further archive sources.

Operational Recommendations
- Insert this material in the "History / Archive" section of the Pro Loco website.
- Publish the timeline (CSV/JSON) and group sheets on dedicated pages.
- For definitive verification, prepare crop images (signatures, footer) for manual reading or for an OCR model specialized in handwriting.
