THEN? What do you think?
return today in Biella, more or less always the sad 1944. Near Quarona c 'is a bridge that is now in those days is called " Ponte della Pietà." But pity the 'is dead, says a partisan song. And yet today, on that bridge, while there is a memorial tablet in five partisans hanged on August 4 of that 'year after' killing of two soldiers of CSR. While no headstone or plaque ricorda i 2o Legionari della Divisione Tagliamento uccisi in un imboscata il 6 Aprile del 1944. 
In 'My other blog "The Worst Youth " an anonymous commentator, about the partisan Genoa demonstrations against the MSI in 1960, leads one of the excuses some reprisals of the Italian Civil War II, and between those quotes Cravasco. Well, let's talk, adding that happened before and after. 
still dwell in Biella, where 's influence Moranino took such a position of unparalleled hatred and blood. Influence was skilful in throwing turmoil and resentment among the civilian population. 
But Calimero Ricciotti was a woman. That he had never dealt with politics, but loved that 'hard-working man. He lived in Borgosesia, not far away. Catherine Bollazzi, this is its name, for two days no news of Calimero, and this was not from him. He decides to move from Crevacuore, and start asking questions. People do not respond, those were the days that it was better to mind their own, guiltily times conspiratorial. The send even Guardabosone , asks the faithful to 'output of the mass. None. But she, undaunted, continues. Petition, then the threat, despair, screaming, asking to Vercelli, where it is due. It does not matter if we send troops, Italians or Germans who are: he wants her man! He does not know who is condemned to death for those questions. Finally someone, maybe or maybe not embarked on the palm, advised her to look closely at the Church of Serra. She goes, hopeful or fearful. But the one below, you will not know who, but you can imagine. An 'another burst of gunfire echoes in the valley, the people made the sign of the Cross, and pulled back the bolt. 
"Palm" has decided: the future mayor of Crevacuore had already decided a long time. We will never know why: perhaps rejected in love, perhaps envious of a "normal" family, although tempered by war, or that benefit the poor Margaret had to withdraw in Vercelli. Maybe a slap received by his uncle Calimero Ricciotti a parade for the anniversary of the March on Rome to avenge a slap with many deaths, as we shall see later. Maybe he wanted to terrorize the country, as did other supporters to Collegno , where they were killed the Seamstresses of which I spoke some time ago, their only fault was to patch some fighters divided Republicans. Palm has decided and decreed the death of a coldly innocent woman, a mother of two children.
