It was the same day in which after 55 days of captivity, the Red Brigades mortified the lifeless body of statesman Aldo Moro in a trunk.
“Aldo Moro, our founding father. A giant.
We gave the Italian Constitution to the young people from Oberdan who spoke today at Palazzo di Città, whom I thank for their sensitivity and attention.
Because a citizen cannot not have this text, he cannot not read it. And we start right from the little ones, we sow the seeds of civic sense, respect and duty in them.
Just as he cannot fail to know what men like Aldo Moro represent for Italy, for Europe.
Because if today we talk about Europe and live Europe, we owe it to him too.
Europe Day is celebrated on May 9th.
How capable are we of honoring the blood shed by those who witnessed the values of freedom, democracy, legality, rigor, morality?”, writes the mayor on social media.
