(ANSA) Rome, March 23 - The daubing of a Nazi swastika
cross symbol on the headstone of a boy partisan killed in combat
at age 12, Ugo Forno, is an "outrage to our city," the
Democratic Party said Monday.
PD chief whip Fabrizio Panecaldo said it is even more
offensive that the swastika was daubed on the memorial to the
heroic lad close to then 71st anniversary of the Ardeatine Caves
massacre, the worst Nazi reprisal killings carried out in the
capital during the Second World War.
"The swastica besmirching the gravestone of Ugo Forno, the
little boy hero killed by the Germans June 5, 1944, as he
defended the position on the Aniene bridge, is an outrage to our
city and to the values that, after the Nazifascist barbarity and
the Holocaust, re-founded our civilisation," said Panecaldo.
