La Russa blasts Partisan attack that triggered atrocity

'Via Rasella' attack was anything but noble says Senate Speaker

Senate Speaker Ignazio La Russa on Friday criticized the Partisan attack during World War II that led to the 1944 Ardeatine massacre in which 335 anti-fascist prisoners and civilians were murdered as a reprisal.
    The massacre at the Ardeatine Caves site (Fosse Ardeatine) near Rome was revenge for the attack in Rome's Via Rasella on the Bozen Police Regiment, a paramilitary unit which had been raised from people in the largely German-speaking Italian province of South Tyrol that had been annexed to the German Reich.
    The attack, the biggest anti-German partisan attack in western Europe, killed 33 soldiers and two civilians also died, including an 11-year-old boy, although it is not known whether this was due to the blast or the gunfire of the company in response.
    "Via Rasella was a page (in the history) of the resistance that was anything but noble," La Russa, a founder member of Premier Giorgia Meloni's right-wing Brothers of Italy (FDI) party, told the Terraverso podcast of daily newspaper Libero.
    "Those who were killed were a music band made up of semi-pensioners, not SS Nazis.
    "They (the Partisans) were well aware of the risk of reprisals on Roman citizens, anti-Fascists and non".
    He was speaking after being asked about the furore stirred by Meloni saying the Ardeatine massacre victims were killed because there were Italians, rather than because they were anti-fascists.
    He said this was a "trumped-up attack".
