Commemorating a Somber Anniversary: La Repubblica Hosts the "Strage di Bologna" Live Event
For five poignant days from August 2nd to August 6th, the la Repubblica news app will host a special live event honoring the victims of the 1980 Bologna massacre. This harrowing attack, perpetrated by far-right extremists, shook the nation to its core and remains an indelible scar on Italy's history.
President Mattarella will open the event with a solemn address, reflecting on the eversive neofascist forces that "attacked our freedom" on that fateful day. His words will serve as a sobering reminder and a clarion call for the younger generation to remain ever vigilant against the forces of hatred and intolerance. Throughout the event, heartbreaking personal accounts from survivors will be shared, their voices echoing across the digital airwaves as we collectively mourn this senseless tragedy.
Alongside the somber remembrances, the la Repubblica team will delve into the complex social and political dynamics that gave rise to such abhorrent acts of violence. Experts and historians will engage in thought-provoking discussions, shedding light on the lessons we must learn to ensure such horrors are never repeated. This comprehensive coverage promises to be a poignant and profoundly important event, one that honors the memory of the victims while inspiring us to forge a future of unity, justice, and lasting peace.
The live event starts August 2, 2024 — ends August 6, 2024.
