ninety years have passed since then, times have followed, major historical events, people who knew how to make a decisive contribution to the fate of all countries in the world. Yet, year after year, there are events that should be mentioned that in that time has indelibly marked who we are today, should not be repeated.

So it is with the Battle of Palazzo d'Accursio , a bloody day that marks the hearts of those years to follow, that Our country began the effectiveness of violence, reprisal for the massacre, which gave way to a movement against which many fought and died. The November 21, 1920 , in fact, fascists dealt a huge blow to Bologna, an attack not only physical but also ideological.

And yesterday, in the heart of a city that has always been a protagonist in Resistance , together with those who represent their heroes, he remembered what happened, depositing wreaths in honor of the fallen. Presiding over the memorial Armando Sarti, Vice President of Anti-Fascist Committee of Bolognina, Walter Vitali, a former Mayor of Bologna, Leonardo Barcelo , Former City Councilman and Pd Maurizio Cevenini , point man bologese policy since its initial application in the primaries, Regional Director of the Democratic Party.

The backdrop to the brief but intense ceremony, an exhibition of Unicef, photos and pictures of children around the world who have created a sort of " ideal link with Resistance " said Barcelo" Maybe if it were not so, I would not have even been able to come to Italy. "

Near the PNA and the initiative, with a letter that had come to the Memorial of Bolognina, but which was read in the courtyard of Palazzo d'Accursio, the President of the Senate, Renato Schifani , who recalled how the country has " a huge debt of gratitude to all those men and women who fought against fascism .

Even the President of ANCI Chiamparino , Mayor of Torino, and Anna Maria the Chancellor, Commissioner of Bologna, were said in a statement, ideally close to the memory of the victims, to remember a piece is so important in our history, because if it had not, if so many people from the life and simple habits they did not rebel, Italy would surely have suffered a fate much worse.

"The events occurred at the height of the red biennium" says Prof. Rolando Dondarini , historical "between 1919 and 1920, when the opposition in the Po Valley, between the socialists and those who opposed the change they contend, had reached the highest levels. Bologna had become a sort of standard of this ideological struggle, so when we knew the outcome of the elections, the climate was already overheated. That morning they had already tested a few skirmishes in the city, a red flag was hoisted on the Donkey and when the people gathered to celebrate the new administration , and the squad came from via Rizzoli, began to roar, and then shoot. It was born from escaping the massacre. Ten deaths among the population, within a the City, and fifty wounded. "

A deep wound not only for democracy, freedom, but the constitution same city that since then, and until the end of the war, he was Commissioner . A Commissioner is very different than what we are experiencing today, a process that brought the fascists to easily understand the effectiveness of the armed threat , violence and death. It began reprisals, raids, blood. "Our city " Sarti said "was the area that has seen more violence and retaliation fascist."

Fascist Italian. Do not Nazi Germany.

"And to think that Bologna had still one of its honorary citizens, Benito Mussolini " continued the Vice-Chairman of the Committee Antifascist Bolognina "of fascism that there should be no more track in our country. "

The CEV, recently returned to politics, paid tribute to a movement so fundamental in Italian history, celebrated with a ceremony by himself when it was approved and established City Councilman.

"The whole day is demonstrate that we do not forget, and I am pleased that Vitali is with us, which is not only a Senator of the Republic, but was also the first mayor elected directly by Bologna and therefore more representative. In that episode "said Maurizio Cevenini " remains the greatest expression of democracy attack, the activities of City stopped in a traumatic way, which marked the beginning of a dramatic season for our country. Today can not be made any direct parallel with the current situation but we are in a time of instability and all the moments of instability are to be remembered. "

Having attended this morning to ' Opening of Garden Father Carli, a Franciscan, and Largo Demetrius Presini , puppeteer, in the company of Sub Commissioner Raffaele Ricciardi and Virginio Merola, Democratic Party candidate in the primary, the CEV has decided to recall the appeal for months now aimed at Bologna: "We need a mayor, even if the Commissioner of today has nothing to do with that then, so you need to invite people to participate in the political as a reminder of the day. We are here today in remembrance of participation, and parteciopazione is what we hope to have soon as a symbol of unity ".
