  • To add a bit of context, it’s not universally celebrated. I don’t mean the killing of Mussolini or the fact that there are still fascists or nostalgics, but specifically the disfiguring of the bodies. Even among antifascists, even among partisans, there were those who considered it barbaric. Most famously, Sandro Pertini told the story (he was there, as a partisan) and famously said “I fight the enemy alive”. I think in this perspective, it’s understandable it has not made an official monument.

    It’s still a good thing to remind to fascists of where they belong, but it’s not one of the proudest pages of Italian resistance.



  • By providing resources to house them? I am from Rome, I know how big (small) the Vatican is. I also know that the church owns an impressive amount of estate in Rome and Italy in general. Whatever the solution could be, from boosting Caritas (the association who already has canteens for poor people), to funding low-cost housing, to whatever else can be imagined, it’s a stark contrast walking such a luxurious place, the core of the Catholic church and seeing people sleeping in the open in winter on the ground.

    Obviously I am not naive, I know that poverty for the church is something to mitigate perhaps, but never to solve.
