Riva Commemorates Partisan Victims 56 Years After 1944 Massacre

Fifty-six years after the massacre, the memory of the partisans who fell victim to Nazi-Fascist barbarity on June 28, 1944, was honored in Riva by the municipalities of Riva, Arco, Nago Torbole, and Tenno.

The memorial mass was followed by a procession of representatives from the ANPI (National Association of Italian Partisans) and armed associations, led by the Alpine band, which from Piazza Cavour reached Loggia Pretoria, where a wreath was laid on the plaque commemorating the fallen residents of Riva.

Moments of the commemoration and theatrical performance

The official remembrance was delivered in Piazza Erbe, which was also the starting point for the theatrical performance “Death and Rebirth – The Battle of Riva”.
