Image 1 of 1

Rome, 25/04/2020. Today, to mark the 75th Anniversary of the Italian Liberation from nazi-fascism (Liberazione) in Rome, I documented backwards the route of the annual march (Corteo) from Garbatella (South Rome's District in the VIII Municipio / Municipality which in 2020 celebrates 100 years from its foundation) to Piazzale Ostiense (1.) where usually a rally took place attended by Partizans / Partigiani (2.), Veterans and politicians. This year people were not allowed to attend the Commemoration (held with just a delegation of WWII Italian Partizans / Partigiani - including ANPI (3.) - along with the Mayor of Rome and few other Institutional Representatives) due to the spread of the 2019-20 Coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV-2 – infection: COVID-19, 5.) which already killed more than 200,000 people in the world (Data by WHO / OMS). The day ended with a flashmob held from the windows of Garbatella's Palladium (6.), where people sang two of the most famous Partizans / Partigiani's Anthems: Bella Ciao and Fischia Il Vento, the Italian Anthem "Il Canto Degli Italiani / Inno d'Italia / Inno di Mameli", and few other songs (4.) which celebrate and remember the Partisans / Partigiani, their Sacrifice for the Freedom, the Italian Constitution, and the Future of Italy and Europe without fascisms and dictatorships.<br />
