Villamarzana commemorates the massacre of October 15, 1944, when 43 civilians were killed in reprisal by the Nazi-fascists. The official commemoration, now in its 82nd year, brings together civil, religious, military and partisan authorities in a journey of memory that touches the symbolic sites of the massacre. The ceremony includes the laying of wreaths at the cemetery and at the places where the shootings took place, followed by a religious service. An event deeply felt by the community and the Provincial Committee for the Celebrations of the Resistance, which renews every year the value of testimony and remembrance.
