(ANSA) - MILAN, AUG 10 - After 78 years Milan has not forgotten the martyrs of piazzale Loreto, the fifteen partisans shot on 10 August 1944 by the Nazi-fascists of the Ettore Muti legion by order of the Nazi command.

As every year, the city remembered the victims of the massacre during a ceremony in front of the monument dedicated to them, in piazzale Loreto, where they were shot.

"It was not an execution but a carnage - recalled the president of Anpi Milano, Roberto Cenati -. A massacre that Milan has never forgotten".

Cenati recalled the importance of countering the "re-emergence of nationalisms and neo-fascist movements" as well as the "worrying anti-xenophobic and anti-Semitic drift. For years we have been asking for organizations that refer to fascism to be dissolved,

because the laws exist but you need the will to apply them.

Just as we hope for exemplary convictions for those who have been the protagonists of episodes of open apologia for fascism. "Despite the heat, many citizens who participated in the commemoration, including Antonio Pizzinato, politician and former secretary of the CGIL.

"We must be incisive in reiterating that our country is democratic and based on the Constitution - recalled the deputy mayor of Milan, Anna Scavuzzo -. Those who serve the country must do so in the spirit of the constitution and today we give a signal of continuous vigilance on the values of the Constitution".

For the Lombardy Region, the councilor for the development of the metropolitan city, Stefano Bolognini, took part in the ceremony.

Among the relatives of the victims, Sergio Fogagnolo, son of Umberto, martyr of piazzale Loreto, took the word.

"Milan - he said he - is he and will always remain profoundly an anti-fascist city".
