The mayor of Marzabotto, a town near
Bologna where the SS carried out their worst WWII atrocity, said
Tuesday that Liberation Day on April 25 was divisive only for
fascists.
"April 25 is divisive for those who are fascists or have
nostalgia for fascism, otherwise it is a holiday for all
Italians, because it is a historical truth that all of Italy was
liberated, giving freedom even to those who still have nostalgia
for Mussolini," said Valentina Cuppi, illustrating the
initiatives planned for 25 April on Monte Sole, the mountain in
the Bolognese Apennines where the Nazis carried out a series of
massacres from 29 September to 5 October 1944 that killed a
total of 1,830 people.
