Liberation Day in the square: “We must fight for the values ​​of the Resistance”

In Piazza dei Martiri the speeches of the mayor Jacopo Massaro and Albino Bizzotto di Beati i Builders of Peace

BELLUNO. Liberation Day very popular in Belluno and in the other squares of the province. Many people from Belluno, including the mayoral candidates for the next administrative, responded to the appeal of the Anpi for the anniversary of 25 April, alongside the representatives of the partisans, combatants and arms associations.

In Piazza dei Martiri, the ceremony began at the flagpole with the raising of the flag, to the rhythm of the hymn by Mameli and continued at the monuments of the Resistance with the speeches of the mayor Jacopo Massaro and the orator Don Albino Bizzotto of Beati i Builduttori di Pace . The mayor insisted for the last time on the need to be deeper, along the lines of what the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella had said in recent days, to study and learn more to understand what is happening not only in Italy, but also throughout the rest of the world, with particular reference to the war in Ukraine. The values ​​of the Resistance, which were valid then, are still valid now.

Bizzotto recalled his experience in Sarajevo, Bosnia, in 1992 at the beginning of the siege of the Serbian army which will last for four years: “We must continue to fight for the values ​​of the Resistance and remember all those who gave their lives to our freedom. Those who preceded us had entered the Resistance as a subject and left it as a citizen ».

The ceremony ended with some pieces performed by the 1867 Philharmonic, starting with Bella ciao and the Canzone del Piave. Other ceremonies were held in Feltre, Pieve di Cador, and Lamon and Agordo.
