(ANSA) – BOLOGNA, APRIL 24 – On the eve of April 25, on the day when 150 people showed up in Predappio, on the Forlì Apennines, to celebrate the 77th anniversary of the death of Benito Mussolini, a group of citizens of fraction of Fiumana has exhibited some small artistic installations of ‘Resistant Stones’, decorated with motifs that celebrate the arrival of the Liberation Day and, indeed, the Resistance.
The colored stones were exhibited, among other points, at the old fountain of the ‘Ribomba’, at the foot of the Monument to the Fallen of All Wars, near the bridges over the river Rabbi, in front of the elementary school ‘Anna Frank’. explain the promoters of the initiative, of “a spontaneous gesture, which takes its cue from similar initiatives carried out in every part of Italy, with the aim of remembering the values of the Constitution and the origins of the freedom that we all enjoy today”. Therefore, it is argued, “the installation on the road leading to Predappio and the one in front of the old Fiumana town hall, a police station and then dissolved by the fascist regime, take on a particular significance, only because the mayor of the time did not want to pay homage to Mussolini in his first visit as Prime Minister to the valley “.
The stones laid “on the monument of the partisan Primo Bravetti – it is explained – instead carry the words of ‘Bella Ciao’ and were accompanied by a flower”. In light of the conflict in Ukraine, moreover, several stones “could not fail to turn into ‘Stones of Peace’. With the hope – the promoters commented – that resistant stones and stones could sprout in every corner and garden”. (HANDLE).
