Benevento, Mayor Mastella placed a floral tribute in Piazzale Martiri delle Foibe
Saturday 10 February, in Remembrance Day, in Piazzale Martiri delle Foibe in the Rione Libertà, in the presence of the Prefect Carlo Torlontano, the Mayor of Benevento Clemente Mastella placed a floral tribute in commemoration of the victims of that terrible tragedy and of the Istrian-Fiume-Dalmatian diaspora.
“The blind and inhuman violence of the Foibe has long been minimised, if not completely unacknowledged or denied. But the asymmetry of Memory – explains Mayor Mastella – as President Mattarella warned yesterday, it is a further insult to the victims and is not tolerable. A community grows in the collective and shared consciousness of history. In Benevento, in Piazzale Martiri delle Foibe, even the toponymic plaque was missing: instead, last year we thought it was right to enhance this place of remembrance and reflection with a sober but significant ceremony", concludes the Mayor.
