umbertino Posted September 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 As music has no boundaries of any kind ( or at least it should not) ...In the past he'd get invited many times to the Italian Communist party (biggest communist party in Western Europe in the past) yearly Nat'l celebration ...I'm Italian...I know and remember...I might even got to see him here in Trento once a long time ago...maybe mid-70's...But not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbertino Posted September 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Man in center holding child is Mr. Benito Mussolini ( yep.....the bad guy...A disgrace for this Country...Got shot by insurgents on my exact birthday just 12 years before I was born....April 29, 1945...I was born 1957)...Friends and ally with Germany's Adolf Hitler and the Japanese in 2nd World War against everybody else ( smart, huh)...... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benito_Mussolini Worth noting that in that obscure period Italy applied racial laws against Jewish - Italian People and consequent deportation to concentration camps just to make buddy Adolf happy.....Jewish People could not work anymore and kids could not go to school anymore....All that in addition to the repression against all who were opposing fascism at various levels ( intellectuals, teachers, writers, journalists etc) of course.....One of the saddest episodes in the history of my country.... One of the last still living survivors of that camp tragedy, Liliana Segre ( a young girl at the time) was appointed Senator for life some years ago and she's still talking about all that in schools and universities about her experience of discrimination, hate etc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liliana_Segre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
