1. #4novembre, anniversario della fine della #inutilestrage (Benedetto XV) della #grandeguerra: non è un giorno di #festa ma di #lutto. Insieme alle vittime di quella e di tutte le #guerre, voglio ricordare tutti coloro che si opposero e si oppongono alla follia della #guerra >
2. gli #obiettoridicoscienza e i disertori.
A #ReggioEmilia, per esempio, i diciottenni #MarioBaricchi e #FermoAngioletti che, per aver contestato la retorica interventista, nel 1915 furono uccisi in piazza dai carabinieri.
Senza alcuna #retorica

A 🧵 about #WW1 cemeteries on the Italian front that no longer exist. After the war the fascists cleared battlefield cemeteries and moved hundreds of thousands of men to huge ossuaries. This Austro-Hungarian cemetery at Passo Pordoi was cleared and an ossuary built nearby. ImageImage
Next, Falcade, now with just the chapel. It was a cemetery for a large field hospital, the most famous occupant being Francesco Barbieri (Gold Medal for valour). They were all moved to the Pocol ossuary after the war. ImageImageImage
The Toti cemetery in Monfalcone, approx 8000 burials. Now a car park. There were 17 cemeteries in this small town (which was on the front line for 28 months). All the men are now at Redipuglia. ImageImage
