President Meloni’s statement on 80th anniversary of Fosse Ardeatine massacre

Today, Italy honours and pays tribute to the memory of the 335 victims of the horrific Fosse Ardeatine massacre, carried out by occupying Nazi troops in retaliation for the Via Rasella attack by partisans in Rome. The Fosse Ardeatine massacre is one of the deepest and most painful wounds ever inflicted on our national community and it is everyone’s duty to remember what happened on that fateful March 24th 80 years ago.
