Italian motorcyclists begin journey to Hiroshima via Belarus

VENICE, Italy - The Marco Polo Team of three Italian motorcyclists, led by lawyer Michele Orlando (R), shows paper cranes made by Italian children at Plaza San Marco in Venice on Aug. 3 before leaving the city on a 20,000-kilometer trans-Eurasian journey to Hiroshima via Belarus to campaign against radiation tragedies. The motorbikers will deliver paper cranes to a monument dedicated to a Japanese girl who died at age 12 as a result of the wartime atomic bombing of the city on Aug. 6, 1945.
