Last June 13th, the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of the city of Terni took place, organized by the Municipality together with the ANPC, ANPI and ANPPIA.
On 13 June 1944, after the last clashes in the city between small groups of partisans and the German rearguards, the Wehrmacht retreated from Terni, giving way to the English avant-gardes, coming from Flaminia, and the partisans of the Gramsci Brigade, coming from Valserra. In the finally liberated city, after twenty years of fascist dictatorship, the CLN organized an embryo of the first democratic city administration.

In memory of these events, a procession made up of associations and citizens traveled along Viale Brin, Piazzale Buozzi and Corso Vecchio, to then reach Piazza della Repubblica, where the institutional ceremony took place, with the intervention of the president of the section ANPI “13 June”, Nicola Zingarelli, the deputy mayor of Terni, Riccardo Corridore, and the historian Angelo Bitti, in the presence of the authorities and the bishop of Terni.
