The Fnp Cisl of Arezzo celebrated the anniversary of 25 April, the 79th anniversary of the Liberation of Italy from the tragic Nazi-fascist oppression, with two initiatives in which women and men of the Fnp Cisl, of the CISL and all those who identify with the values of democracy enshrined in the Constitution. Intense moments to remember events that occurred in the Arezzo area and underline how those rights, contained in the constitutional text, “are the result of the extreme sacrifices of those who fought to allow all of us to have the gift of freedom”.
The first initiative took place at the monument of San Polo, on the outskirts of the city of Arezzo, where 65 men and women of all ages were massacred by the Nazi army and with the complicity of fascist collaborators on 14 July 1944. At 9am, 30 a laurel wreath was placed at the foot of the monument by a delegation from the Fnp Cisl. The second ceremony of the morning took place in Molin di Bucchio in Casentino, in the municipality of Stia. In this place, Pio Borri was murdered on 11 November 1943, the first victim of Nazi fascist violence in the province of Arezzo. This episode then gave rise to the roundup which ended with the Vallucciole massacre. Pio Borri was a 20-year-old student who abandoned the fascist militia to join the Casentino partisans. Borri was captured and mortally wounded, finally left dying in Molin di Bucchio. Also on this occasion, an Fnp CISL delegation from Arezzo laid a laurel wreath to remember the barbaric murder of Borri and, at the same time, the values of justice born during the liberation struggle. The General Secretary Fnp Cisl Arezzo Fabrizio Fabbroni underlined how it is “a duty for all citizens and especially for the younger generations, to preserve, develop and increase the memory of the Italian history of those years, to fight the many masters of indifference unfortunately present in our country today”.
