Dear Musers, I know my English is terrible but today is a really important day for me and my country so I hope you’ll read this anyway

(Hoping you will not fall asleep for the boredom, I’d like to share with you, dear friends around the world, the reason why today I’m full of joy and emotion :) )

“Resistance”, “revolution” and “uprising” are words that we Musers know really well but they’re important even for italian people like me.

Maybe for you the 25th April is a normal day but not for me, not for Italy, ‘cause today we’re celebrating ”La giornata della Liberazione” ( The Liberation Day) in honour of the members of the Italian Resistance Movement during World War II who not only fought the troops of the Fascist regime under Mussolini but the Nazis as well.

You can find out informations about the “April Uprising”, the “Italian Resistance” and the number of women and men killed by the Fascits and German soldiers here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_resistance_movement :)

The April uprising showed to the world that not all Italians agreed with the Fascist rule. It proved that Italians were prepared to fight against Fascist rule at great cost so I want to celebrate and remember with you all the Italian heroes and heroines who died for the freedom of my people.

Thanks for the attention,

Cheers :)

THE ITALIAN RESISTANCE.

Today, April 25, is the anniversary of the 1945 fall of Mussolini’s Italian Social Republic.

On April 19, 1945, concurrent with the renewal of the Allied offensive, the CLN called out a general insurrection. Bologna was liberated on April 21 by The Free Polish Forces under allied command.Parma and Reggio Emilia were liberated on April 24. Turin and Milan were liberated on April 25 when Fascists retreated. Over 14,000 German and Fascist troops were captured in Genoa on April 26 and 27, when General Meinhold surrendered to the CLN.

The April uprising showed to the world that not all Italians agreed with the Fascist rule. It proved that Italians were prepared to fight against Fascist rule at great cost. Casualties from the uprising amounted to:

Approximately 44,700 Italian partisans killed
Approximately 21,200 Italian partisans wounded or disabled
Approximately 15,000 Italian civilians killed in retaliations
Approximately 40,000 former Italian soldiers died in concentration camps

During the war, German and Italian Fascist soldiers committed a number of other war crimes including summary executions, rape of female prisoners, ransacking, and retaliations against civilians; most of these were common practices.

Some of the most notorious events were the Ardeatine massacre, the Marzabotto massacre, and the Sant’Anna di Stazzema massacre. Captured partisans or civilians were often tortured. The Decima Flottiglia MAS, an Italian unit under German command, is now remembered as one of the most ruthless military corps of the war.
